Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: How to handle regressions

Hi,

You are a big company and you would buy MS Office for 100$ per year each. (500 seat it was? -> 50 
000$ per year.
And with LibO you can get a free product. If this is not enough you can
1) Do it yourself
2) Let it fix
@MS you cannot do that easily (1) and I do not know if MS fixes a bug for a 60 seat company....
With LibreOffice you can choose which company should fix the bug, which keeps prices fair and low!

I am sorry if the following sounds a bit sharp: do not rant. That won't help! If you want to have 
this bug fixes, pay for the fix. (Or test if works on master.... I guess this bug should be fixed 
relatively quick.

Liebe Grüße, / Yours,
Florian Reisinger
