MSO vs OO
ZXNet echo conference «zxnet.pc»
From Eugene Palenock → To All 1 February 2005
Hello All!
Can anyone tell me about the advantages/disadvantages of OpenOffice
compared to Microsoft Office?
Why do offices everywhere use MSO and not OO?
Best regards, Evgeniy.

About OO from personal experience. ;) I haven’t been using it that long, so it’s not much.
- It consumes 40Mb of memory almost completely when loading.
+ At the same time, any application from it loads almost instantly.
- Crookedly supports rtf format. And he loves unicode very much.
+ Easily exports any writing to pdf.
- Cannot work with complex markups and tricky insertions of additional
objects from mso.
+ All other markup is transferred from mso without visible changes, and mso even
It loses its markup if the file is an older version.

To make money imho.
And have you seen the staff in modern computers? offices? These are the students who
They only know how to install Windows and mso. They don’t know what OO is. At least
At least here in Samara it’s like this almost everywhere. There are a couple of offices in the whole city that are decently
they assemble cars and install any custom software you want.

The main disadvantage of OO is its incomplete compatibility with MSO

Then the main disadvantage of MSO is incomplete compatibility with its previous
versions. :)
