Not quite. Maybe in English-speaking countries, but not here in Israel. MS-Office documents written in Hebrew don't open so well in OpenOffice. Also, VBA macros don't work in OpenOffice, and many people depend on them - that's a global problem. That is the only reason that i, despite all my dedication to Free Software, gave up and bought licenses for Vista and Office - i just have too much Office files in Hebrew, which i need for academic work. (I use Ubuntu for everything else). Microsoft has a good reason to fight OpenOffice and keep the Office file formats locked in the vault... :( -- Microsoft has a majority market share https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
