Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: blog with great comparison table between LO and AOO

Hi :)
I think one of the key things missing in the history section is that between the LO's 3.3.0 release 
and Oracle's 3.4.0 release there had been tons of LO releases and LO merged with a large and 
significant OOo fork known as Go-oo, which was the 'OpenOffice' used in many distros.  While LO had 
already had many releases the 3.4.0 (beta) was Oracles first.  

The history makes it look like noting much happened in either project until the 3.4.0 got released. 
 A by-product of that is that it makes it look as tho Oracle won the race to get a first release 
out after Buying-up Sun.

Perhaps it's just that the author was shy of claiming too much credit for LO.  Afaik he  has been a 
significant driving force in the devs' community and the wider LO community.  
Regards from
Tom :)

Well, most of the points that look good for LibO do not matter, are a matter
of taste, may be even counter productive.
The OOXML output filters are a desaster. 
Many people complain about all the bundled stuff (dysfunctional report
builder, too many languages).
Most of the Calc differences can be seen as draw backs (I prefer OOo Calc
actually). 

There are plenty of comparisons between LO/OOo and MSO. The result depends
on the tester. If you compare LO with MSO the same way as Micheal compares
AOO with LO then MSO wins.
