Ok- 89 views and no one thought to comment to knock out a zero reply? come on people. This is not a "real question" so it doesn't require a thought out answer. Just say - "that's nice. I really like the Open Office.org suite. Go Linux!" etc.

Well, I just saw this thread, but I would like to say I'm glad to see Oo being picked up. I think the only problem is, it will always be one step behind Office, much like Linux stays right behind Windows.

I didn't really understand that part. Even though the page this review is posted on is from Australia, the origin seems to be:

No offence! I love OpenOffice myself and the review was good.

Hehe I guess, studying here in aussieland myself... most of the pc's in the labs are linux based and they run windows through an emulator, not the other way around

I've been member since 2003, but my old login is gone missing for some reason :P

thanks anyway
