Why You Should Choose MS Office Over OO.org

sander writes "As noted on linxfr.org, Microsoft has published a competitive guide on OpenOffice.org 1.1 vs Microsoft Office. Some of the weirder things they claim in it is that by choosing MS Office over OpenOffice.org one is protected from the threat of viruses. But the giant seems to be sweating -- and with a good reason."

    For the small office there's nothing like Access.

    I'd rather gouge my eyes out with a spoon than use that horrible "database" known as access. I mean is anyone out there really using it? and are they really happy with it?

    There are a bunch of front ends for most of the open source databases out there... while I'm a terminal man myself, I imagine one of them should be as easy to use as access.

    you obviousally have no clue.

    access is for a SIMPLE database to be used by one person. it IS NOT A SQL DATABASE to be used by 30 people and to handle queries on a database of 30,000 entries... It is a small tool for small database uses... it even says that.

    Damn MS office and allowing stupid managers to creat something that is unstable and blame IT when their abortion eat's it's self.

    please oh please get a clue first, you really REALLY look stupid when you post dumb remarks like that.

    finally any moron can write a SQL query and a VB app that access that SQL database. yes even upper management that has barely the ability to walk and breathe.
