Microsoft FUD Machine Aims at OpenOffice.org
Roblimo writes "If you're using Microsoft Office and considering a switch to (free) OpenOffice.org, Microsoft would like you to read their Open Office Competitive Guide first, in which they tell you how much better/faster/cheaper MS Office is than OOo. Taran Rampepersad, an IT consultant in Trinidad, believes this "Competitive Guide" is nothing but FUD, so he wrote a detailed rebuttal to it -- and released his article under the FDL so you can feel free to republish his piece or share it with anyone you like, however you like."

Not necessarily. Every native Mac OS X program that can print can also generate PDF files -- the print dialog has a button "save as PDF" beside the "print" button, and clicking that button makes the program "print" into the specified file (which is then in PDF format) instead of sending the output to the actual printer device.
A monkey is doing the real work for me.
