Asterios, one main reason I am considering migrating from SPSS to PSPP is the cost. In these difficult financial times, it seems a waste (especially for students) to justify SPSS, when a stable open source alternatives is available. And one that works across many platforms (e.g. mac, linux, windows).
Also, when I can, I like to support the open source movement. 2011/8/14 <[email protected]> > Hi people, > As an academic working at the university I am interesting on various > statistical programs because I am using them very often.
