[Liverpool] How LibreOffice Writer Tops MS Word

[Bob Ham]

Hi all,

I saw this and thought it might be of interest:

http://www.datamation.com/applications/how-libreoffice-writer-tops-ms-word-12-features-1.html

It's a little shallow and completely ignores issues of freedom but it's
an interesting read.  The fact that it comes from a long-established
technology publication is, I think a sign of how appropriate it has
become to use free software alternatives to common proprietary desktop
software.

A wonderful quote:

  "Really, the superficial conventional wisdom has the wrong view
  entirely. It's not LibreOffice Writer that needs to catch up to MS
  Word. From an expert's perspective, it's frequently MS Word that needs
  to catch up [to] LibreOffice Writer."
