I guess you completely missed my point… if the article would have said "OpenOffice.org Impress" I would have just said: it is using the wrong tools (exactly like I said for Powerpoint in my previous email). Here, the fact that it is proprietary software is an explanation of why they use the wrong tools → because they don't really have the choice (less choice resulting from proprietary software monoculture → everybody uses the same tools designed by the same people, here Microsoft). Don't misunderstand me Using OpenOffice would have been almost as stupid as using Office. They are wrong tools for such things as establishing solid military strategy IMHO. Finally, this is not offtopic. We are not discussing military strategy here, but discussing on how good Free Software is for giving us the right tools to achieve what we want.
