OpenOffice.org 3.0 Wants to Compete with Outlook

jason writes "At the OpenOffice.org 2007 conference about a month ago there was a presentation on what to expect in the next major milestone for their Microsoft Office competitor. "The presentation mentions bundling Thunderbird with their Office Suite, and refers to it as an 'Outlook replacement.' This is all assuming that Thunderbird recently losing two of its main developers doesn't affect the decision, because I'm sure OpenOffice wants to ensure that Thunderbird will continue to progress before including it." This probably won't sway large corporations away from using Microsoft Office, but it could make it more intriguing for the smaller businesses that are looking to cut some costs."

What's with all the vitriol?

OOo creates documents, spreadsheets, presentations and drawings.

It does so efficiently once you're familiar with it, often more efficiently than it's major competitors.

It saves your data in a format which can be opened by any other software that chooses to support it, and it costs nothing to install. If there's a document you're unable to create with it, chances are you don't know how to use it properly.

In spite of all this you're complaining, behaving like it whipped your dog. Why's that?
