For example, LibreOffice and OpenOffice both have a full suite of Apps that include Base - the equivalent of MS Access which FreeOffice does not have, not forgetting Drawing and Math which I don't think free Office will have. Another cut down version that does not have a Presentation app is Gnome Office, comprising of Abiword and Gnumeric - Word Processor and Spreadsheet respectively. If you have KDE environment there is also KOffice (now Calligra), but not up to the standard of LibreOffice from reviews I have read in GNU/Linux magazines. At the end of the day it is down to user choice - just like OS's! :mrgreen:


The big deal will be if the former Lotus Symphony can really be merged into OpenOffice.

If that happens, then there is going to be a serious difference between OO and LO. Of course what could happen is they could strip everything good out of Lotus Symphony.
