"Look what Microsoft did with .odt (OpenOffice/LibreOffice) compatibility. Now they show bogus security and compatibility warning dialogs if you open or save such a file."*
To be fair, oOo and LO always warn you when you want to save a file in MS Office format. Mind you, you can turn the notification off.
Food for thought: one of my employers now deploys OpenOffice as well as MS Office after years of resisting that because of fears of user confusion. Guess what? No confusion apparent.
- xvilka 11y agoOpenOffice is dead, sadly refusing to accept it, so people still continuing to install it - check the commits count for the 2015 year. While LibreOffice does a very good job improving (including Microsoft formats support).
- keithpeter 11y agoI tend to agree and I use LibreOffice myself. Employer is a Microsoft shop (win10/7 clients, SharePoint, outlook/exchange, active directory &c). I imagine someone just went to the oOo Web site and got the current download.
