DenialS writes: "Congratulations to the OpenOffice.org team! Version 1.0 of the open office suite has been released. I'm downloading it now; I've had good luck with the previous stable builds. Release notes haven't been posted yet, so I can't say what the major differences are between 1.0 and the previous stable build, 641d, but I'm looking forware to finding out!"
Most of us do not work for software companies idiot so we could care less. I get paid to write custom shit that no one else would even touch as a commercial product.
Oh yea, and it is going to be hard to beat free!
Got Code?
Although I hope OpenOffice clobbers MS, I hope it doesn't help you! I hope that some esoteric bug in OpenOffice screws up all of your spreadsheets in some subtle way rendering your work undetectably invalid, lest it should ever be used in the real world.
Seriously, don't you have any morals, or even a sense of the danger you're putting yourself in (even if you don't care about the rest of the human race)? How can you sleep at night? I can't understand how you can do that sort of thing, knowing the consequences of what would happen if your work were ever used! And don't give me any malarkey about 'making the world safe by making war unthinkable'. It's your weapons which put the world as a whole at risk by those who are willing to think, and do, the unthinkable!
