Fact is, you don't know what you're talking about re: office software in 
general and MS Office in particular.  You didn't 12 years ago when you 
made truly lame arguments, and you don't today.

If you actually knew what you were talking about, you'd know LibreOffice 
is the huge memory sucking bloatware.  Plus it's slow (at least on 
Windows).  Plus LO Basic is pure crap.  Plus LO Base is a sad joke. Plus 
the form and report designers are bogus.  Plus LO has no email 
component.  Plus the documentation is crap.

If the devs had any shame they would walk away from that suckware, like 
you and everyone else should - and would if it weren't free.
