No, I have just bought a license of Office 2013 Home and Student for 79 Euro (I can send you a scan of the invoice). The regular price is lower by 30% (at least). In addition, people who were already using OOo (most of AOO user base) did not switch at all from MS Office, and therefore did not save any money. All migrations from MS Office during the last 12 months are to LibreOffice, and this is something that AOO people know very well. Instead of spreading false information (in a press release, which is even worse), AOO should provide numbers about the migrations from MS Office to AOO, if available. -- Italo Vignoli - italo.vign...@gmail.com mob +39.348.5653829 - VoIP 5316...@messagenet.it skype italovignoli - gtalk italo.vign...@gmail.com -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to discuss+h...@documentfoundation.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.documentfoundation.org/www/discuss/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
