Re: [libreoffice-users] comparison of LO and m$ bugs

Hi :)
I think most people that use MS Office have no idea how to post a bug-report against it.  It's 
certainly not as actively encouraged as it is in OpenSource projects.  

There wouldn't be much point in posting a bug-report about MS products.  Do they fix things?  It 
seems that the only updates for MS products are labelled as being for "Security".  Security issues 
only seem to get looked at after they been used to compromise systems and widely reported.  In 
OpenSource projects people tend to complain about potential problems rather than after-the-fact.  I 
doubt that any of the 3,000 fall into a category that MS would bother to fix.

It might be interesting to find a list of bug-reports for MS Office to check how serious they are 
and see the level activity in different categories.
Regards from
Tom :)

Readers,

A quick report revealed that there have been about 3000 bugs reported
with LO so far, of which 200 have been assigned (presumably to
programmers able to solve). Curious to know, how does this compare to
known bugs reported with m$o? Thanks.
