OOo Takes Several Linux Journal Editors’ Choice Awards
In Linux Journal‘s Editors’ Choice 2006, OpenOffice took home the Office Suite, Spreadsheet, and Presentation Software awards.
Here’s their analysis:
“OpenOffice.org delivers just the right combination of openness, power and similarity to Microsoft Office that it provides the features and familiarity people want in an office suite without the drawbacks of proprietary document format or proprietary code. It may not always import Microsoft Office files perfectly, but it does so without the crashes that sometimes plague suites like EIOffice when importing large, complex Microsoft Office files. Overall, OpenOffice.org has a way to go before it reaches its potential, but it still provides the best combination of features and compatibility, along with the distinct advantage of being an open-source project.”
