 Joerg Schmidt shared an interesting whitepaper from Microsoft White
 Paper: OpenOffice / LibreOffice Evaluation Criteria on the dev-de list.
 
 I found it interesting and thought it can be of interest for others here
 as well.

I have read the white paper (why it is called white is another story) and I
think that it is the usual market nonsense. Microsoft is loosing money and
they want to find a way to get their former customers back. An interesting
comment included in this white paper is the following one:

Microsoft Office 2010 boosts Indian IT firm's productivity by 30 percent.

I just wonder how the prodictivity of an IT company is increased by using 
a word processor or a lousy database?

I read it too and was impressed that nobody needs the advantages.

I started a new job (where they have excel of course) and got so annoyed by
the things excel was doing I installed AOO to get my work done.
