Actually, Open Office provides more than 10 percent of the functionality
of MS Office and aims to provide all of it eventually. In fact this myth
is wrong because while most people only use 20% of the features, each one
uses a different 20%. And take 9 or 10 people and you'll get close to the
full 100.

There's no point in keeping an idea to yourself since there's a 10 to 1
chance that somebody already has it and will share it before you.
