- cleal 15y agoI'm wondering how is this very different from MS Office vs. LibreOffice... Granted, latest incarnations of MS's products are a bit different with the (crappy) ribbon and all, but LO is quite similar to previous versions of Office. And I'm talking both about UI, design and functionality. Think Excel/Calc functions, for example.
