<snip long parable of the 2 cars> But, if you need features that only the MS car has - like a 305 Horsepower engine, or a 3 ton towing capacity, or better gas mileage (and, yes, MS does get better performance with less system usage) - then, the choice is obvious, you buy the MS car. Or if your boss demands a 10-year, 100,000 Mile factory warentee - then, the choice is obvious - you buy the MS Car. Or if you need a DTP-GPS, then, the choice is obvious, you buy the MS car. There are plenty of reasons for people to choose MS over OOo. Please, don't make it sound like "the choice is obvious" that you should *ALWAYS* chose OOo, and are an idiot for doing otherwise. MS Office works, and works well most of the time, and can do plenty that OOo can't. (Just as OOo can do some things MSO can't do, like Vector graphics, PDF export, and Flash export, although MSO is getting PDF export in its next version.) The point is, there are reasons for both products to exist, and reasons for intelligent people to choose to use either. This analogy is getting way stretched out and out-of-hand. -Chad Smith
