Story: Microsoft: Office '10 years ahead' of OpenOffice

A few notes: The UK thesaurus thing seems to have been sorted as of 2.0.2 (and if it hasn't there is a UK thesaurus plugin via www.8daysaweek.co.uk)
Speaking as someone who has neither the time, money or inclination to deal with MSO it is a big advantage.
It helps that I am in the process of weaning my parents off MSWorks WP, on the grounds that nothing else anywhere (INCLUDING Word) will read the default file formats. If anyone thinks that I'm going to pay actual money for a copy of MSworks just to swap files with my parents, they need their heads examining.
