Happy 3rd Birthday To OpenOffice.org

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the more-vigor-more-gusto dept.

Milo Fungus writes "OpenOffice.org is three years old today. The birthday page links to interviews and information about OpenOffice.org's push to schools, which is led by Ian Lynch of the Marketing Project. As a happy and satisfied user, I say 'Happy Birthday' with vigor and gusto." Gift idea: give a copy of OpenOffice.org to your boss tomorrow.

  5. Last night my Supervisor... by skank · · Score: 2, Funny

    was asking for a crack for MS Office, because his trial version was about to run out (I didn't even know MS Office had trial versions), so I sent him a link to OpenOffice.org. Today he came in and was extremely happy. He said it installed with no problems, let him open all of his existing .doc files, and the look and feel was easy to get used to. I work for a Cable ISP, and my Supervisor is one of those guys who gets nervous when you say IP address, so he's not very technically inclined... He was very impressed with thee software, and could not believe he got a free program to run on windows that did not turn his computer into a adware box. He said that if there were any complaints, it was that it would take a bit to learn the features provided by openoffice that are missing from that other office suite. All in all, he is a very happy man, and I'm happy, because it always helps to make your boss happy for a while. Thanks OpenOffice!
