[libreoffice-marketing] Re: Welcome to marketing -AT- global.libreoffice.org

Hi Tim,
Thanks for your note. I believe that my source was
http://www.idealware.org/articles/msoffice_vs_openoffice.php
- and specifically this:

   "Interestingly, OpenOffice can open substantially older versions of
   Microsoft Office files than Microsoft Office itself can, or even
   some corrupted files that Microsoft Office can’t open. For an IT
   department, OpenOffice is worth having around just for that."

However, it would certainly be nice to confirm it. Does anyone have 
anything else on this?
David
