------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Tue Jul 4 09:59:09 -0700 2006 ------- Right, and that argument holds for Staroffice (not free) how. It's amazing how coders have absolutely no business sense. It's about VALUE which is why BMWs and Mercedes sell so well even though they are pricey vehicles - people perceive them to be a value for their dollar. Even free things have a value to them - just because it costs NOTHING doesn't mean that it has infinite value. At the price pt of $200 MS isn't a value compared to OO but at $55 it becomes a much greater value. Now with MS Off. 2007 coming out it'll be a great value at $75 and OO will be left in the dust with productivity, ease of use, and speed. Free my eye - how much time do I spend finding your niggling bugs and reporting problems. How is this FREE? I can attribute a value to a great many things and back in 2000 Stardivision had a VALUABLE product and it only took Sun six years to reduce that value (actually, they did it in 2). Note: 1) Cheap or free does not mean infinite value 2) People ARE willing to pay for things so long as it has value 3) Sun has been steadily improving the "value" of OO after drastically reducing the value of it after the purchase of Stardivision and it currently stands, IMHO, as a net negative from when they purchased it - slower, buggier, less GUI consistency. I've probably been using this package for a LOT longer than you have been working on it as I go back to the original StarDivision days and I KNOW what they had for a product and I KNOW what you have. I also worked with them on issues and NEVER had to deal with responses like yours even though I got it for free. I can get MS Office for close to nothing but I'm choosing to help OOo but thanks to your replies - I'll reconsider. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
