Hi :) I think one of the key things missing in the history section is that between the LO's 3.3.0 release and Oracle's 3.4.0 release there had been tons of LO releases and LO merged with a large and significant OOo fork known as Go-oo, which was the 'OpenOffice' used in many distros. While LO had already had many releases the 3.4.0 (beta) was Oracles first.
The history makes it look like noting much happened in either project until the 3.4.0 got released. A by-product of that is that it makes it look as tho Oracle won the race to get a first release out after Buying-up Sun. Perhaps it's just that the author was shy of claiming too much credit for LO. Afaik he has been a significant driving force in the devs' community and the wider LO community.

The OOXML output filters are a desaster. Many people complain about all the bundled stuff (dysfunctional report builder, too many languages). Most of the Calc differences can be seen as draw backs (I prefer OOo Calc actually). There are plenty of comparisons between LO/OOo and MSO. The result depends on the tester. If you compare LO with MSO the same way as Micheal compares AOO with LO then MSO wins. -- View this message in context: http://nabble.documentfoundation.org/blog-with-great-comparison-table-between-LO-and-AOO-tp3972755p3972842.html Sent from the Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- For unsubscribe instructions e-mail to: [email protected] Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted -- For unsubscribe instructions e-mail to: [email protected] Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
