Try submitting a bug report to Microsoft. They want you to pay like (US)$40 for the privilege. Contrast this with LO and other free software projects, where one can log into a bug tracker, submit the report, and hear back from the developers without even touching one's wallet or keying in a credit card number. Yes, someone has to pay for development but simply submitting a bug report shouldn't cost money on top of what one paid for the (proprietary) software, which in theory is being sold/licensed per "seat" primarily to cover the cost of support. In theory, yes, MS can plagiarize the bug tracker model LO uses. Honestly, given it's already quite tedious and odious to deal with bugs in MS software, I wish they would. -- Shawn K.
