I am actually using MS Office 2007 and man > that was Great - IMHO OpenOffice may be 3-4 years behind of MS one. <quote> The more you use Microsoft the more of your nation money goes to the US and other already developed countries. </quote> Wow, this thread has gone too far already. Please understand this: Microsoft does not represent the US. After all, if it's not because the US and developed countries, you wouldn't have OpenOffice.org and Linux to brag about. You probably wouldn't have the PC (AMD, Intel) to use and the router (Cisco) to establish your network. We all need each other. Even the Free Software Foundation is supported by the US and developed countries. http://www.fsf.org/donate/patron/index_html Promoting OSS is a noble effort, especially to 3rd world countries. Taking one corporation to represent the whole country and bash about it is not noble. Lastly, I have mentioned this before and people seem still don't get it. Nothing is free in this world. Everything has a price. -Larry ____________________________________________________________ Nước nào thường cho nhiều học bổng du học? Khám phá tại Yahoo!
