[libreoffice-users] Re: LO 4.1.3

The actual computer magazine c't compared
OpenOffice and LibreOffice and come to the
result that the new versions of LibreOffice (4.1.x) had
more features than OpenOffice.
(but often unneeded like the work counting ... never understodd who needs 
such features I never was asked how many words a my document contains)

But the conclusion was:
*LibreOffice is VERY BUGGY*

I can confirm this:

I Installed LibreOffice on the Windows 7 64 bit PC
of a friend, which he use since Version 3.6.

Last Month I did an upgrade to libreoffice 4.1 on his
PC.

Now he had big troubles: From time to time he got the error
"Program does not respond"

I installed now the portable Libreoffice Versions 4.0.x and 4.1.x
and asked him to try out the both ... always the same problems.

He could not work with these versions.

Now I downgraded to libreoffice 3.6 and all works fine.

On my Kubuntu 64 bit Linux I had no problems with LibreOffice,
so its perhaps the Windows version which is actually more buggy.


Please Guys ... SLOW DOWN THE FEATURE ADDITIONS and TEST IT BETTER.

Nobody gives pressure on you, at least not me: I am a great fan of 
LibreOffice and switched from OpenOffice to LibreOffice a long time ago.

But ... I will not recommend it to my friends in the next time, sorry.
