No they don't or yes they are. Scribus is no InDesign. GnuCash is *NO WHERE NEAR* Quickbooks. Nothing compares to Half Life or Halo or the Sims. Exporting documents to PDF in OOo is not the same as making them with Acrobat, nor is exporting Impress files to Flash the same as making a Macromedia Flash movie or game. OpenOffice.org can't fully replace MSO (as discussed eariler in this thread, so please read my eariler post before killing me) and the GIMP, while awesome, isn't a 1-for-1 to Photoshop. > Disclaimer: I have a Win2K box, simply because that is what two of the > best programs in their class/application run on.
