  1. Why not just focus on OO2? by FatalChaos · · Score: 1, Flamebait

    Why even have split development? Most ppl who don't use the current OO aren't not using it b/c of some small bugs, but b/c it lacks major abilites like being able to competantly convert MS formats. Also, when using OO, it needs to be able to produce MS files that are the same in MS office as in OO (usually it does a pretty good job in this aspect, but not always).
