I hope open source catches up, I really do, but saying MS Office is crippled is plain false.
- mahmud 14y agoYou're replying to a post in a thread about Microsoft limiting the number of installs per license. I don't know about your definition, but that qualifies as "crippling" in my book. I choose to use Free software because I value my time and freedom. It's Libre/Open Office for me. You are free to choose whatever you want.
- mynameisvlad 14y agoEnjoy your crippled - functionally - piece of software. There, I said it. LibreOffice may be alright, but it's certainly not good. It looks like it came out of the 90s, and it, nor anyone else's, spreadsheet making will never even come close to Excel's.
- rednukleus 14y agoI work in the financial services industry, so no I don't have a choice. I love Free software and dual boot Linux on all my personal machines, but I give credit to MS where credit is due - Office is a very good suite of software.
