Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: About.com "Readers' Choice Awards 2013 for Office Software"

Hi :)
Dohhhh!  My example of the Academic Section was a tad flawed!  lol.  They do actually have 2 of the 
bundles for students and academics, they just don't have the 'normal' bundle for a comparison.  So, 
it's still not a fair vote but somehow LibreOffice is streaking ahead despite that.  
Regards from
Tom :)

 interesting to see how many in the Academics Section just carried on using whatever came with the 
machine rather than deliberately going out and getting the "Student Edition" of MSO.
