Word 2007 Vs. Open Office 2.3 Writer

hairyfeet writes "Bruce Byfield of Linux.com has just posted his third Office shootout between Microsoft Office and Open Office. This is the first version comparing the new Microsoft Word 2007 with Writer from the latest version of Open Office. The verdict: while Microsoft Office beats Open Office in a few categories, overall Open Office wins — but by not as large a margin as in the past." Linux.com and Slashdot share a corporate overlord.

well duh, when was the last time that a sensible discussion of the different features and the pros and cons of two pieces of software, objectively weighing up the advantages of each in an unbiased manner was entertaining? ummm never. Now, when the last time a flame war was entertaining? Every time, that's when, and on that note I declare you a big fat monkey who knows nothing about anything, plus you smell like steve balmers armpit after a vigourous chair throwing session

P.S. It's spelt M$.
