Re: [libreoffice-users] locked in other OS

Hi E-letter :)
Hmmm, version control is not the problem i was writing in about.  

Why should and how could i encourage my boss to use MS crap when he has enough difficulty adding a 
1 to a name that ends with v2, v3 or draft2, draft3 or whatever??  

Any chance of trying to answer the question or at least be less unhelpful?
Regards from
Tom :)
