Re: [libreoffice-users] CNET is claiming the best free MSO alternative is not LO

well I never heard of that product and if there is any truth of what the 
commenter states, I would not want to try it.

I really do not see any free office product that is better than 
LibreOffice.  I have been using LibreOffice since it was just about to 
be released off of the "release candidate stage".  Have been supporting 
LO since 3.3.2 or 3.3.3.  I have been handing out brochures of one type 
or another promoting LO, and CDs and DVDs with LO on them since the 
spring/summer of 2011.

I believe that LibreOffice is better than MSO, not just a free 
alternative to MSO.  I stopped buying MSO with the 2003 release.

So, I do not agree with your article.

I believe in LibreOffice and all of its pros and cons.  I use it and 
promote it.

So, I have never heard of Kingsoft's office package.  I have never seen 
any other articles stating that Kingsoft was a good or great free package.
