Sounds too PRish for me.
"Open" any doc doesn't sound like it means open it "correctly." Also, I can't objectively take anyone's advice who writes "M$".
is this better?
as far as i know and i have used this product for almost a year in 1.1.x and 1.9.x (2.0 betas) versions) it can open any Microsoft document i have had on my comp.
My mom, who is 63 and has never used naything but Microsfot Office came to my comp and managed to do 12 pages translation without asking me anything.... thats how close these products are.
This isnt PRish, this is personal experience.
And as for "M$", if thats your only reason not to try it, then i am sorry for you, dont get me wrong, but i personally do not like the way how M$ operates and i really hope that products like this or Firefox will force M$ to work with standards.... i wont even mention Frontpage.....
Windows are only M$ product i use and i am switching to Linux before Vista comes for sure. If you find my way of expressing what i think about Microsfot offensive, i am NOT sorry, it is my right.
But, that doesnt change fact that there is really great product out there .... for free.... that can do most if not all of M$ Office tasks.....
For regular user...e.g. my mom.... there is no difference at all..... maybe you have higher expectations and offcourse you have every right to expect the best (in your opinion), but trying it wont hurt you..... its
FREE..... you dont need EULA to run it....
you can check it out and tell us what you think....
IMO, it would be great to get opinion from someone who is using Microsoft products like you and compere experience..... i admit i might have lost my objectivity, cause i been using OO for over a year and it was always enough for my needs....
Maybe you have different needs....
To each, his own.....
