The continual request to make LO more compatible with M$ office is a
strategic mistake.

A business that cannot afford M$ software licences for the benefit of
that business' customers does not deserve to be in existence. A
business that receives profits from customers that demand to use M$
software should simply pay the licences to meet their customers'
demands and consider it a cost of doing business. There is no
justification for complaining to the open source community for
choosing to use a product that is incompatible with their customers.
Any business using open source software to generate a private profit
should put their money where their mouth is; pay for software to meet
business needs or don't use it and pay for proprietary software
instead!

LO programmers should concentrate on making a good software product;
that should be the priority.
