Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: Is 3.5.4 ready for business users?

Dear you LibO folks,
I have now wasted a lot of time reading some 30 mails in this thread - 
it was of no use because most of them did not
handle neither give an answer to the original very relevant question: 
    "Is 3.5.4 ready for business users?"

So, what is the conclusion - if there is any?
Is 3.5.4. ready for business use, or not -- if not, what version is then 
in every way at least as or more reliable as e.g. MSOffice& MSAccess?
>    the MSO's license fees are peanuts compared with lost efficiency 
(and costs) if a company's office personnel must struggle with LibO's 
bugs and issues many hours many days per week per month -- and the 
company has to employ or buy some extra it-resources for that  (and 
fixing new problems coming with new versions every 'second day')
>     no company can afford bad quality or inflexibility in 
communication with customers caused by a not-working office program (LibO?)
>    MSO is no doubt the 90% market leader and is most certainly used 
by any company's most important customers/contacts -- and the rest 10% 
will follow the majority every time they have to

Three weeks ago in another thread I put an similar question asking what 
is the best LibO version today for a private/home user -- a home user 
does not have it-experts or own skills in programming to rely on but has 
the same need of a troublefree program.
Thanks to Tom and Andreas for their kindness to answer; but neither of 
them gave me an exact recommendation: "that version is what you need"!

Perhaps that 'business ready version' of LibO could be the one for me too.
If there is no such a reliable version (not for business nor for home) 
then stop developing for a while and make one:  better to have a 
perfectly well working program with less features than one with plenty 
of fantastic features that does not work and that produces problems 
already when being installed!
Please, start with fixing Base!
Regards
Pertti Rönnberg
