It's Free, But Is It Any Good?
To be honest, I am dubious of open source software. Yes, Microsoft products can be a pain in the backside, and they have their flaws, but you know, you can usually get around them in the end. Windows isn't perfect and nor is Internet Explorer, but they do the job in the end.
A couple of years ago, I decided that open source software was worth a try, so I tried Easy Office. It was anything but easy: bloody useless would be a better way of putting it. It had an awful interface and seemed completely incompatible with everything else I used. So I gave up on it.
Later on, I tried Open Office. It was all right, and did have the added ability of saving in pdf format, but still, I preferred Microsoft Office, so I kept using that.
Now, however, Open Office 2.0 is around the corner, and I figured that it is worth another go. It certainly looks a lot more polished than the previous version, but I guess only time will tell whether it's enough to take me away from Microsoft's grasp.
