I can't link to it because it is from Thurs and it requires a subscription.
But: The WSJ technology guy reviewed SO 7. He said the following: SO 7 is much better then SO 6 for importing all types of MS Office documents, including excel and powerpoint as well as word. He was very impressed by how well things imported. The big problem, from his point of view, is that exporting documents to MS Office is much less well developed. So, he wouldn't recommend it for anybody who has to exchange documents with MS Office. He pointed out that SO, but not MS Office, can export to PDF. The installation of SO seems much easier than before. (I installed my copy with one mouse click.) He noted that page numbering and some other items were more difficult in SO than MS. He also noted that MS is "stealthily" reducing the price of its consumer software. You can buy an academic copy, which can be installed up to three times, at stores, and have only the weakest link to a full time student, or none. This runs about $150 dollars. So, the pricing differential is getting much less. This tends to support my contention that the biggest beneficiaries of the linux movement will be current MS users who don't switch to linux.
