    No, people reject open office because it is a useless, steaming piece of shit. If you are a student writing 20 page "research" papers then it's quite sufficient.

    If you are producing large professional documents with tons of linked fields and complex spreadsheet analyses, Open Office is absolutely useless.

    MS Office WORKS and it works well. I personally produce over $500,000 worth of professional documents every year. They could charge $2000 for office and I would still buy it, it is peanuts compared to the value of what I produce annually.

    You clearly do not live in the real world.

    Dubya is amazing. Not only can he run America, export democracy to the whole world, and win elections, but he even finds time to moonlight as a Microsoft marketing writer. Wow!

    Why do you people continue to misunderestimate the man! He's phenomenal!
