OpenOffice.org --> LibreOffice

[d000hg]

So from what I've read - and that link summed it up nicely - if I want to stay within the principal of using free software that is not driven by commercial gain to a corporate but by what the developers feel they user community wants, I should move to LibreOffice.

That's my understanding, although I really couldn't care less.

Open source software plays a giant part in modern software development but not in desktop software. Note that many of the most popular websites such as Facebook ARE built on OS technologies.

Also, remember Android is (sort of) open-source and that is certainly used by a lot of people.

Ooer. I just hovered my mouse over the OpenOffice icon on the desktop:

The office productivity suite compatible to the open and standardised ODF document format. Supported by Oracle.

When I see "support" and "Oracle" in the same sentence, I think of hefty invoices, though that's probably for corporates.
