It is very, very likely (I'd almost say "evident") that this is the case if one just reads between the lines of the tutor technical requirements FAQ: http://www.tutor.com/apply/tutoring-faq#system "Your computer must meet the following specifications to run the Tutor.com Provider Classroom software" If those specs are so dumb er I mean "strict" to specify Internet Explorer 8.0 or higher" it means to me that their software is heavily dependent on several MS specific features to work. Interestingly, that FAQ doesn't mention Office at all, so I'd be curious to know where/how exactly the OP got the explicit answer, IIRC "no, OpenOffice is not good". Marco -- M.
