Re: [libreoffice-marketing] looks like OOo based IBM Symphony wants opinion on how good it is

What I really was thinking about is a more detailed comparison list.

This list would have things like
read/write .docx files
able to use JPEG 2000 image files
edits PDF files
list of popular formal types
list of transition effects for Impress vs PowerPoint

and things like that for each module of LO vs MSO and other office 
packages.  Give details of the capabilities of LO and what it is 
comparing to.  The lists in the link below is not detailed enough.  Also 
it states there is not image viewer for LO.  I thought Draw was a viewer 
and editor.

It is nice to have some simple package comparisons, but more and more 
users are concerned with specific details about it LO or any other free 
package can do the specific type of work they need to do.  That include 
file types for read/writing, importing of various image files, formulas 
and macros, etc., etc..  This list would show that LO exports to PDF 
directly, which MSO did not do the last time I used it.

The idea of cross platform use - Windows, Mac, Linux OSs - is nice, but 
since more people will be concerned with Windows-only operation, it 
needs lists of operation functions, and other things that is needed by 
their day to day work needs.  Specifics.

The linked list is a start, but having a side by side function 
comparison between Writer and Word, Calc and Excel, etc., is needed.
