Let me enlighten you and show you the error of your ways. Here is a quick summary of the major themes of those messages:ĭan, you're an idiot and have no idea what's good for you and your company.
NEOOFFICE VS OPEN OFFICE SOFTWARE
I guess that some people see their chosen software as a religious experience rather than pieces of software. I must admit, I was rather surprised by the strong emotions behind some of those responses. Some felt strongly enough that they tracked down my telephone number and called to express their thoughts and feelings. Hundreds of comments were posted on ZDnet and I received an amazing number of Emails. The response to my original post was illuminating. They're still useful when I'm exchanging documents with folks using those products. I haven't, by the way, totally abandoned OpenOffice.Org or its cousin NeoOffice. I've been able to easily read documents and presentations sent by 451 Group subscribers or suppliers of IT hardware, software and services. I've not, by the way, heard a single complaint from my colleagues since that change over. When those little "irregularities" became the topic of discussion of my company's Senior Team meeting, I knew that the tool had become a liability and I went out that day and purchased Office 2008 for Mac. These problems, of course, never showed up on my system when I looked at those same documents and presentations. Although OpenOffice and its cousin NeoOffice worked well, I kept learning of formatting problems seen by recipients of documents and presentations. I'm going back to MS Office, I commented on the interoperability issues I had experienced that can be attributed to my choice to use on my production systems.
