I disagree. Lawyer and Linux user since downloading Slackware 1.x from tsx11 many moons ago.
1. Libreoffice is still not comparable to Word 6 (circa 93).
2. Outlook - With several dozen lines of VBA, and a little customization, Outlook becomes a full blown case management system.
3. Acrobat Pro.
4. Fujitsu SnapScan - Scanner that every (smart) small firm uses. Not Twain. Linux drivers exist, but functionality isn’t there.
These are just some of the roadblocks. Maybe someday MS will release a Office for Linux.
- agumonkey 5y agoLibre Office is really lacking and lagging compared to MSOffice. I wanted to patch some stuff that need love.
- antb123 5y agoFujitsu automated scanner I got working pretty well. Agree with the rest. I mostly think Lawyers don't really care about technology (except good research tools) and billing tools.

- fsflover 5y ago> 1. Libreoffice is still not comparable to Word 6 (circa 93). And it can't be, because Microsoft does not allow that to happen.
