After watching that, does anyone else feel like that Microsoft is a little worried at the popularity of OpenOffice.org?
One of the things to consider is that a number of these comments may well have been from older version of openoffice. Versions where some of the recent tweaks have not taken place.
The other important point is that Microsoft has had a monopoly for many years with office products (not even mentioning Windows). This means that a huge number of users will be familiar with the Microsoft way of doing things. By only spending a small amount of time using openoffice, of course people will consider switching back to the more familiar! I use openoffice for about 90% of the time I write documents, I find it as easy to use, and easier in some cases.
Personally I prefer the way openoffice deals with styles in the word processor application. While creating a spreadsheet for a work project Excel rather ambiguously implemented one function I was using whereas openoffice spreadsheet worked flawlessly!
Having said all that openoffice word processor can certainly learn from Microsoft Word and all the rotation of graphics natively.
