Techdirt:Microsoft Says: Our Way Or The Spam Folder

Yet another reason to NEVER use a Microsoft product. But if you’ve got to use it (work or s.o. or whatever reason) then get a gmail or yahoo or other online account to allow you to get all of your mail! AOHell tried that and may be still doing it but I try to have nothing to do with that most obtrusive service. I only know 2 folks that still use it and both now have gmail accounts.
NewsForge | OpenOffice.org Writer vs. Microsoft Word
Several years ago I concluded “Opening Up to OpenOffice.org” by saying, “OOo Writer outperforms Microsoft Word in almost every way.” With the release of the version 2.0 beta, that statement is truer than ever. At its worst, OOo Writer is an adequate alternative for Microsoft Word. Most of the time, it is a superior one. And the greater your need for page design features or long document handling, the greater that superiority becomes.

After using OO on 3 different platforms and several more OS’s over several years I have to agree. The styles take a bit of getting use to but in the long run are much easier to use in OO. And importing works much better in later versions. NeoOfficeJis branch for the Mac and what I use most. Just got the latest update yesterday. Nice!
