--- Quote ---Ah man, do we really give a fig what Win drones archive at their stupid jobs with whatever Win software anyways? Not me. Much like in the case of PC "gamers", it seems pretty self important to me to make such a stink about a software feature that isn't really that universally used and condemning software that lacks it. Same with photoshop. Like it really matters that some doofus can't photoshop some gag pics without the latest Photoshop CS XT PRXLT. Like it really matters that some dumbass needs to write his Psycholoconjobs 101 essays in .doc files since his dumbass professor demands it. Not everything revolves around a couple of applications.

yahurd, MS office is a separate package and is in no way part of microsoft's "operating" systems.
jonez, what yahurd was saying about MS office (i think) is that, since microsoft do not publish the complete API for MS windows, their software developers (of non-OS packages) have access to priveleged information, ie: the full windows API, while third parties (Nero, Sun, Adobe etc) have only got access to the officially published part of the API. This obviously gives the developers of products like MS office the jump over products such as staroffice and openoffice.
This seems logical to me, but still, i think open source software should be able to close this gap simply by being better! :-)

yes that is exactly what i mean, however windows 98, on a fresh install, did some weird thing and i found Microsoft office in the registry and on a not fresh upgrade from 95 to 98, the computer (which had office 95) kept getting an odd "Microsoft word cannot open because a newer version is conflicting with Microsoft word 95. please either reinstall the current version or uninstall the newer version, it is recommended you reinstall the current version as uninstalling the newer version may damage the current installation" it could have been a trial but i get paranoid about windows 98

it has taken competitors a long while to become msoffice compatible because it was proprietary, all an office suite would have to do is open-save odfs, if it was fantastic and came from a well known source, and gained 80% marketshare in a year and then decided to make some proprietary extensions, viola lock-in

--- Quote ---My only point was that you found it offensive when I stated my opinion that Opera is better than Firefox. which you found obnoxious, you then stated your opinion the Windows is a piece of shit which a Windows supporter might find obnoxious.

guess i was a bit cocky
--- Quote ---I was trying to make the point that, the motherboard manufacturers collaborate with MS; i.e. they only share their specs with them. So yes, if your motherboard doesn't support Linux then in effect it is telling you what OS to run! If your hardware was all open source then this wouldn't happen. I was making the point that many of the arguments that apply to open source software apply to hardware so if you believe that boycotting closed source software is a good decision then perhaps you should either rethink it or be more careful about your choice of hardware.

--- Quote ---it's wrong, many people won't migrate to OpenOfice.org because it won't 100% reliably open up or save MS Office documents. They don't give a fuck about ODF, been able to save in a format that no one else uses makes difference to the average user. They'd rather it save in MS Office formats which is what they wrongly consider to be the standard.

true, but it has a good compatibility and for internal use, a
--- Quote ---I was also making another point; OpenOffice.org lacks some of the features of MS Office, in this respect it is behind of Microsoft Office and is playing catch up.

fair enough but would you mind stating those features? im just curious
