Wow, looks like Microsoft and other competitors better watch their backs... with open source making so much improvements, it's hard for people to 'not get the free one'. I mean I've tried out both OpenOffice and MS Office XP and their feature are pretty much the same. Even products such as WordPerfect don't seem to be worth it now. And with online word processing such as Writely and all that, it's just scary to be competitors to a free service.

Do you guys still use Office? I can't remember the ratio, but oO uses much less space than office, has the same uses and it's free. I don't get a single reason why someone could still use Office nowadays.

The problem is that sometimes (for example at work and school for me) we don't have a choice if we want Open Office or Office, because the companies have already installed all the Office stuff and spent their money for something that is the same as Open Office so they might as well use it (that's what they say atleast). For example when I asked my teacher if he could install Firefox, he replied that it was against the board policy to do that- Why? Because you can't install extra software, so you don't ruin the computer (heh, atleast that's what they think). The same goes for Office.

Oh well, if only open source had more support...
