If only it had a decent office suite.

Hi A,

Libre Office is starting to come into its own. I have
a number of customers now running it (mostly in Windows,
some Mac and some Linux). And they have probably fixed
close to 50 bugs for me now. None of them miss M$O
(M$ Office). I am not even sure most of them even
realize they are not running M$O.

And it didn't use to be this way. Back with Open Office
(who never fixed anything), I had some secretaries get
so upset that they went out and bought M$O with their
own money.

Things have changed since Libre Office. Now people ask
me about Office and I tell them, I would love to sell it
to you but Libre Office is free. See if you like LO, and
if not, I will sell you a copy of M$O. As of about a year
ago, not a single person has wanted to go to M$O. It
use to be the other way around.

The big deal killer I see the most often is miserable
old Quick Books. Horrible stuff, but everyone has
to have it. (I wonder if M$ regrets trying to
kill Quick Books with their ill fated M$ Money.
Quick Books keeps folks on Windows.)
