Story: Microsoft: Office '10 years ahead' of OpenOffice
Posted by: Robert Burling (Thursday 9 March 2006, 9:35 AM)
One would expect Microsoft to say that. They have been lying to the world for years and now, somehow, they are being asked to explain their lies. If Open Offcie is 10 years out of date, by my reckoning that makes MSO at least 20 years out of date. It is messy, incomprehensible, appears to have no real rules and is totally inconsistent from version to version. Wake up Microsoft, you no longer rule the world. You could have done if you had stayed in the real world but you chose fairy land. You have been behind in the race now for more than 15 years and will never catch up because you have left it to late
