That reminds me when my PC was so old it couldn't process Office, so I had to use Notepad on every paper I had to make.

"Herp derp! Just because something is written with a bit of Java code, I'm going to make the stupid assumption that the programmers didn't optimize the code, and thus runs poorly on every system."
That's what you sound like.

I like it better and its free....Let TC try it for himself, apparently everyone has a preference unique based on what they like(Layout for example)

Well of course everyone should try it for themselves. I just didn't like everyone here is flaming MSO and praising LO/LL without giving any arguments. I tried both for a long time and the above arguments are the reasons why i would prefer MSO everytime

LibreOffice can compare to Microsoft Office 2003 for sure. All the knowledge I learned from getting my Microsoft Office Specialist Certification can be applied to LibreOffice/OpenOffice. Which is all you need in a professional workspace.
As far as the eye candy goes there is no doubt Microsoft Office 2010 will win. But for me personally I don't prefer pricey software or piracy over free software that does what I need. The only think I actually do use is SmartArt, which is the only think I miss. Might as well be an extension for it.

I'm not talking about a professional workspace here where obviously other factors matter (the price is none of them). However, according to my experience that i've build over the last years with both MSO and OO i can say that both programs did what i need with MSO doing it better/easier/more bug free. When the price or piracy are acceptable i don't see many reasons to prefer OO/LO

paradoxly its not fully free...it runs in java which is free, but if you want to use open office, you must use java...thats why I dont like openoffice
Comment has been collapsed.
huh? it's fully free! you don't even need windows! it'll run in most linux distros and you can even make a live cd of it to just run on any computer you want. it's free, not a single penny is needed! (unless you count internet access, cost of the hardware to run it, electricity, and slim jims... but that's just nit picking)

I am not talking about windows, I am talking about java which still have some compatibility issues in windows and linux..and yes I tried both and a lot linux distros

Oh, you just want to type in shit? Not a problem: just use the notepad.
Seriously, stop being a cheapsass and buy it already. That, or pirate it/download some free version people seem to be contempt with even though it might bring a lot of fuss when you look for tutorials or when some compatibility issues happen. The full version comes with MSWord, MSExcel and MSPowerpoint and they're for general professional and amateur use so they're basically a must have.

Because he might believe Steam ADEQUATELY PRICES MOST of its games, while general use software, such as office suites, are still overpriced like a motherfucker. Which is true.

I know few people who have bought Photoshop for example... O_O

Private, professional you are better off buying it just because it will pay for itself after a couple uses and you will have less worry.
But everyone I know that uses it as a hobby or just to screw around with has pirated it.
