"A poll has indicated 86% of users would prefer to try OpenOffice.org 2
rather than buy MS-Office 2007." But the link is to an Australian online
survey about Office 2003.
"Studies have shown it is ten times cheaper to move to OpenOffice.org 2
than it is to upgrade to MS-Office 2007." No link to those studies.
Guess why?
Fear-mongering, fact-mangling... I expected better of OOo. When did they
start getting all corporate and FUDdy?
