Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: Libre Office being recommended on MicrosoftAnswers Forums!

There's a good possibility the LO recommendation being due to the Gates 
- Ellison feud.  Ellison owns Oracle. Oracle owns OO.  Most know more 
about OO then they do LO.  Hence the reason for MS's LO recommendation. 
Then there's the 900lb Gorilla factor:  LO is cost free.  OO looks like 
it's going to be a for $$$ item at Oracle.
