I admit that I had the concerns at first, not so much about bugs (because most people I trust consider the program to be very solid) but about the cost of training and teaching everyone a slightly different way of doing things.
But I've converted most of my 60-person office now, with very few problems. In fact, recently I had to install MS Office on a colleague's computer (because I simply couldn't access my MS SQL database the way I needed to -- my lack of knowledge, not the fault of OO) and the user practically BEGGED me not to replace OO with MS Office because she'd learned to like OO better. And that's from someone who resisted the most when I first made the change. So, I wouldn't worry too much ... there will be a bit of a learning curve in the beginning, but I'm guessing you'll eventually be very pleased that you made the change. kennM On 6/26/07, [EMAIL PROTECTED] < [EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
There are hidden costs. For one, a VERY buggy office suite. I am using it for a business now, piloting the software as my company is considereing switching. I can 99.9% guarantee you that the cost you pay in time dealing with bugs and design flaws is much more costly than just buying MS Office. If you care about your data, don't use OpenOffice. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
