I must agree with this. Although it looks interesting with its
integration with Windows' desktop (I used Win version), it is
incredibly slow, and not a powerful as MS Word (and I mean it -- the
problem is that people don't feel like learning what's there in Word,
and then they grab another piece of software, discover something and
yell that they have found something that MS Word doesn't have). I
haven't tried Word Pro, but maybe I'll check it out someday.
StarOffice also lacks support for languages like Polish so it is
disqualified at the very beginning.
Best regards,
