Comments on: That’s even 1% as good http://cogscanthink.blogsome.com/2006/10/28/thats-even-1-as-good/ I'm feeling pretty good about myself right about now.

While it is difficult in both programs, MS Office does it better. People complain about the paperclip, yet that stupid lightbulb in OOo is much harder to turn off (you have to go into menus, where with MS Office you just close the paperclip and it won't come back). Outlook 2003 is the best email client currently available. A big pluspoint for MS Office, no doubt. And Adam, nobody uses .odt (no offense) at least where I'm from; I get everything, also from university and fellow students, in either .pdf (30%) or .doc (70%). So, to be honest, I don't care about .odt because it is irrelevant to me.

I thnk OS Office is fanastic, but it does plenty of stupid shit to, like insistenting to autoformat EVERYTHING incorrectly. I use OOo about as much as I use MSO, and I like them both very much. And by the way, OOo may be bad as .doc (and it's not bad, it's actually very good overall), but MSO's import of OpenDocument is FAR worse - in the sense that it doesn't work AT ALL, because it doesn't exist.

I think it sucks ass, and I am free to say as I damn well please. If you don't like it, don't read it. Great OOo works for you.

You look very desperate and deprived from good things in life. Blog rants [specially stupid ones] are a good way out of despair. But you could pick another target. OpenOffice.org never went bad on me, and believe me, I use it for more than 7 seconds, almost 4 years now... And it, among other stuff, allowed me to recovere Word and Excel files that could not be opened with their original Word and Excel Apps because they were so fucking corrupt. And guess what? OO.org opened them without a hicup. So in that way, at least, oo.org is so MUCH BETTER than MSOffice. I could go on and on with other examples but let me tell you this: try using it for more than 7 seconds if your mind has a greater attention span... Oh and... This kind of blog rants look really stupid. And makes you look like a whining kid, no matter what your real age is... Hey kid, you look like you need some rest.

Of course it's a rant. Broaden your world. In Dutch, we often spell Putin as Poetin.

I wonder if you have enjoyed any technical (mathematical/logical) education in your life.

Your blog entry is nothing but a rant

Wow you figured that out all by yourself? Of course it’s a rant.
