Well, I like staroffice in it's new form of openoffice (R 1.0.1). The
fact of the matter is ms office as well as all look~a~likes are
bloatware. The problem I had with the old staroffice (R6) was that as
soon as you started staroffice *IT* became your desktop, not an
application. 

MS Turd (Ooops... I mean MS Word) finally has a peer in OpenOffice
Writer. As a matter of fact, I do not believe that Turd (Again, so
sorry. I mean Word...) is gonna be able to hang with the abilities of
Openoffice writer within 2 years (That is, if the development of
OpenOffice Writer continues at it's present pace.) Really, the only
thing the openoffice crowd needs to do to be 100% competitive with MS
Turd is rewrite the font interface so that the introduction of new fonts
into openoffice apps does not require mid level abilities regarding how
Linux (And UNIX) actually handle ttf's.

Also, it's products like openoffice that cause over rated blow hards
like Mr. Hollings to blindly sponsor legislation on behalf of MS. As a
side note, have you ever noticed that Mr.Hollings speech 0sounds like
that rooster in the old warner brothers cartoons...?... You know, the
rooster that goes around saying "I say" (with an over pronounced
southern accent)at the beginning of every sentence...?.. Now, the WB
rooster has been around since the 1940's... So, who copied who? To me,
it is apparent that Mr. Hollings copied the rooster. I am absolutely
positive that no rooster would *EVER* want to be mistaken for Mr.
Hollings in conversation.
