RE: [libreoffice-users] Libre Office being recommended on Microsoft Answers Forums!
[The MVP page seems to have moved, so here's a text explanation] MVP = Most Valued Player It is an award (made annually) from Microsoft to non-Microsoft people who make significant contributions to the community of Microsoft product adopters. The awards tend to be identified with a particular product group (e.g., Developer products, Office, Sharepoint, etc.) The MVP receives free access to tools and products and early previews. MVPs are also invited to periodic Microsoft MVP Summits where early releases are disclosed, advice is solicited from Microsoft, etc. While MVPs tend to be expert in a Microsoft technology, that does not mean they are constrained in their breadth of knowledge or contribution in forums, etc. It is not unusual to see a recommendation about the use of non-Microsoft technology, or how to inter-op with non-Microsoft technology. It is not commonplace either, mostly because of the focus of the forums and what forum users tend to have their attention on. In the case at hand, two different MVPs responded and there were a variety of solutions offered, one of which was use of LibreOffice. What I find odd is that an OEM Windows 7 computer, if recent, is more likely to come with Microsoft Office Starter edition. It may well be that the user simply failed to register it, in that case. I see, however, that some OEMs preload a trial edition (sometimes both), and this seems to confuse matters. Most folks are probably unaware that the built-in Windows 7 WordPad application will open and produce ODF Text documents, and also rtf and docx, but not .doc. The functionality is rather limited though (more on the lines of the old Windows Write application). Another way of handling the situation also mentioned on that forum is to use the free Web applications for Microsoft Office. There are features that don't work there, but it can be handy in a pinch. Some folks just want to help users without co-opting them into some sort of ideological warfare. - Dennis -Original Message- From: Gordon Burgess-Parker [mailto:gbpli...@gmail.com] Sent: Friday, August 12, 2011 10:14 To: users@global.libreoffice.org Subject: Re: [libreoffice-users] Libre Office being recommended on Microsoft Answers Forums!

Re: [libreoffice-users] Libre Office being recommended on Microsoft Answers Forums!
Every OS Microsoft publishes tries to remove the User from the systems operation side of the equation. Personally, I take offense by their attempts to lock me out of folders on my own computer. Regardless of a the tonnage of lipstick slapped on a pig, it's still a pig. Windows 7 is just another attempt to push Users further away from being able to control their own systems. For this reason, most all applications being selected for use now and in the future have Linux compatibility so the transition curve isn't a series of switchbacks. In time, 2-3 years, use of XP will become untenable and a version of Linux used from there on.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Libre Office being recommended on Microsoft Answers Forums!
Hi :) The link you gave in an earlier post led to another link where MS use the word Professional rather than Player even tho they obviously don't pay the MVPs. MS make a lot of money from their Office Suite so it's not a huge surprise that they don't mention that WordPad has a lot more functionality than most people are aware of. What is a surprise is that WordPad has a lot more functionality than it had a decade or so ago (when i last looked at it). MS support for ODF is the older 1.1 or 1.0 standard rather than the newer 1.2 (Extended) that is used by default in LibreOffice and other apps. I have found this thread very interesting and a major boost to morale. Thanks everyone, especially Dennis Gordon :) Regards from Tom :) From: Dennis E.
