Re: [libreoffice-users] LinuxQuestions.org Members Choice Awards - "Office Suite of the Year" - vote

I think one of the premier office suites is LO.. 
its basically amenable to anyone´s need  provided that persons
trying to use it develop sufficient understanding to use it, which 
is usually not the case.

What makes LO precious is that no one can buy it to park it.

Should Linux Questions reach to the monopoly assistance provided
by governments and others to foul LO as a major competitor..denying
user access by outlawing a better free product from a costly 
less product...?
Laws and policies which designate allowed product are monopolist.. 
 
Seems to me Linux Users might  award a wrongful Monopoly of the
y;ear award and market the reasons for the award globally.

 Hi :)
 I
 think it might be more meaningful if they included MS Office
 and other
 proprietary options including
 Android and iPad options such as "Author".
 
 Many people claim that there
 are no alternatives to MS Office and that
 "even if there were" they would still
 have to use it.  Many others claim to
 have
 tried all the alternatives but that nothing is as good as MS
 Office.
 It is good to have a place that
 consistently rubbishes such idiots.
 
 Those sort of people claim that because there
 is no alternative to MS
 Office they
 couldn't possible move away from Windows.
 
 So i really think this is a
 crucial category for LinuxQuestions.com.
 Regards from
 Tom :)
