Re: OpenOffice.org 3.0 != Microsoft Office because of an animation?

The only people I know personally(except myself) who "actually do presentations for work" use keynote on a Mac. Nonetheless, what's wrong with just using one animation per slide? You might have to click an extra time on your remote? Heaven forbid! But if you think the almighty MICROSOFT must be the be-all and end-all of defining features, just go ahead and be a Microsoft fanboy (read slave) for life! You can't lose your job for that. As for me, I've been using OOo exclusively since version 1.0, and never looked back. MS Office 97 was the last and only version of Office I ever bought. I think the OOo team are doing a fine job, and if I were to criticize anything, It would be that they follow the Microsoft product too closely, rather than charting their own course. The advantage of the free software model is that the users can decide what features they want, and participate in the development of new versions via actual programming, or testing, or user feedback, rather than just accepting the dictates of the software company.

Return to OpenOffice.org 3.0 is an incremental improvement
