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.

Moderators-- Pay attention!
Why all of a sudden is there this trend of putting "(Registration blah blah)" in stories? The word "required" is actually less characters then "blah blah." Plus it more accuratly describes the process for those Slashdot newcomers.
...why does Mozilla load the pop-ups on the NYT web pages? Them little buggers is tricky.
in fact, "blah blah" does not make the note shorter, which would really be the reason to say it! check it out:
"reg req'd" is all you need.
i don't understand when folks make it longer by adding "blah blah" onto the end. it's not like paraphrasing a EULA, where "blah blah" would really count!
This post is really interesting. Why is it modded down?
