Freedom versus Chrome

Hi 3,

Without wanting to go into detail I really think you need to start looking at the bigger picture.

OpenOffice is different for MS Office but its free - i.e. it doesn't cost anything and you still have your freedom when using it.

That's pretty bloody cool if you ask me.

MS products are deliberately designed to limit your freedom and lock you in. They actually don't work all that well either. Vista is a pile of crap, for example.

However, if your freedom matters less to you than looking at pointless chrome then good luck to you.

Best dogStar.
