things from the perspective of a long time MS office user and you'll
understand what I mean.
This reason is quite simple. Things purchased by paying or stolen for
personal us
Thats the way it is. To release your software with Linux you need to
release the source code. That is how the agreement is structured. That is
the reason that every Linux is open source.

This reason is quite simple. Things purchased by paying or stolen for
personal use are always sweet for the user. That siw hy ardent M$ product
users hate Free/Libre things.
It is human tendency to blame free things.
If a user is rich and willing to spend, and balme others that is his/her
will. But think of a day when you are not able read the first love letter
prepared in your computer using M$ product is not readable in your old
days.
I myself use LibreOffice / Claws mail /
Thunderbird. I'm speaking about normal users, you know? Those who
don't care about FOSS and stuff. People who just want to get their
work done, and fast.
If you are looking for the work to be done that is possible in OOo and
LibreOffice
I would like to suggest some thing you may not like: try googling
something like, "openoffice sucks" or "why I hate openoffice" or
something similar. I know that most are mere nonsensical rants and
that many problems stated would have already been fixed in
LibreOffice. But then, see what they mean when they say usability /
ease - of -use / interface etc. I find LibreOffice pretty usable for
myself. Convincing people is a nightmare and I'm trying to do just
that.
Just fall in love with Free/Libre stuff you will find how sweet it is
