Either of those statements, when taken alone (especially the second),
could be taken as a statement that "OOo is a clone of MSO".
NO NO NO!!
Look, giving you what you'd expect in an "office suite" does not
mean "just like MS Office". Heck, it doesn't even imply MS Office in
particular. It means that it has the set of features that an office
suite should have. It has a word processor, spread sheets, etc.
The second statement is *not* specific to MS Office either. It says
"other office suites" and mentions MSO as an EXAMPLE of another
office suite.
OOo has all the features that an office suite is expected to have.
Just like Corel Office, just like KOffice. Are you also going to
claim that OOo is a clone of Corel Office? And MS Office is a clone
of Corel?
Think people think! Having the functionality that an office suite
should have is lightyears away from cloning one particular brand of
office suite. Geesh!
Oeps ... Hi Daniel,
The one who writes
"If you're used to using other office suites - such as Microsoft Office
- you'll be completely at home with OpenOffice.org 1.1."
should be fully aware that people using the Ms version of Office, shall
expect that thay can just work as they are used to do.
If that is not what is intended, nor the idea/ taste/ feeling that we
want people to have, it would be better to write something as:
"If you're used to using other office suites - such as Microsoft Office
- you'll experience very little trouble in using OpenOffice.org xx,
since most functions can be handled in the same way."
Kind regards,
Cor
What if I haven't experience any 'little trouble' using OpenOffice.org?
