Re: Open Office vs. ms word

[edack@kengel.com]

At my last company, I was the LAN Admin for a decent sized co. Corp. std. 
was indeed MS but I never had any problems xfering docs using OO. I used 
Linux as a desktop and as an internal server for intrAnet, backups, and 
internal DNS.

I may sound like a Linux zelot, and perhaps I am, but I have been through 
several software shifts, WordStar. WordPerfect, MS Word, and now OO. It 
lends a sense of perspective is all.
