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

Hi :)
I use it for significant chunks of my working day but i've never read-up about it.  I don't need 
advanced features but every once in a while i explore a bit and learn a bit more.  Hmm, that's not 
entirely true but i don't spend long looking things up and tend to focus on reading only to achieve 
a specific task.  
Regards from 
Tom :)
