New York Times Plugs OpenOffice Suite

MrNovember writes "The New York Times (registration blah blah) describes a new choice for office suites. The writer seems a bit slanted toward OpenOffice but it's a fair discussion of its pros and cons. The article has identified some interesting compatibility issues to those who aren't using OpenOffice but might. Again we see major media discussing open source as an actual alternative to a longstanding standard. The article concludes amusingly with 'Every now and then, you get what you don't pay for;' just tack on 'Open Source' to the beginning for the perfect sig." We've gotten numerous submissions recently from people whose [company/school/whatever] is switching to OpenOffice.

This feature will be retooled in Service Pack 3a which includes Security Rollouts 146-2 and 6e2.x which prevent against worms such as iexplore.exe and winword.exe . However you will need to install BigHugeWebMonster version 7.2 to use this service pack
