[ILUG] OpenOffice compatibility with MS Office

Thu Feb 9 10:30:43 GMT 2006

Thanks, a very interesting document. They seem to consider OpenOffice pretty 
much on a par with MSOffice and OpenOffice ahead in several areas. They also 
consider OpenOffice 2 the one that takes it into the realm of being a 
feasible alternative.

I think the main issue I have is with the more conservative element who object 
to change anyway. The younger guys in the lab are fine and are all busy 
making copies of the Windows editions of OpenOffice and GIMP and taking them 
home....all helps the acceptance level so I don't object.

Kevin.
