To Whom It May Concern:
First off I would like to clarify something. I'm biased towards Microsoft
products since they are the only things I have ever used. I looked at the
screenshots of your products out of curiosity and I was surprised how much
they look like Microsoft products. I understand that you want to make it
easy so that the few people the convert from Microsoft products will not have
trouble using yours, but in my opinion you should try to give your products a
different look. Let me phrase it another way. Let's pretend that there are
two cars. They look a lot alike, except that one has been around for years;
it is trusted, and owned by hundreds of thousands of people. If a
middle-aged man was shown the two cars and it was proven that they looked and
felt the same, he would probably buy the older one because of looks were the
same, but the older one had more experience behind its manufacturing. My
advice (one man's opinion) is come out with a new look and feel to your
products. If you have a better product and a different feel, I would saw
that people would switch to you. Again, this is just one man's opinion.
God Bless,

John,
looking at your email address, I am sure you never had to think about
that M$ license cost money, while openoffice is free.
The comparison of a trusted product is very bad. Many of us switch to
Openxxx, because M$ is not trustable.
That the looklike of both products are similar is - as you recognized -
to make it easy to use either program.
Openoffice is sure a better choice, as a not paid M$ office.
I would suggest, not just look at some screenshoots, but rather install
it and see the difference. Of course it is only for your home computer,
since in your school you do not need to worry about license, ...
Long Live Openxxx !!!!
bye
