@estiej It's to be expected that a company will promote its own product. What will be strange will be a company promoting its competitor.

@stevoisgod123 Sure, they love me for using Office.
And I love them for making my office work bearable...

@davidthmovies Congrats! You are exactly the type of yuppie bitch Microsoft loves.

Seriously Microsoft? Hatin on freeware Just because it's free? My bad you missed out on a couple bucks in your pocket...>.>

This video shows that MS Office is usually for people who don't have a lot of time on their hands.

@AndyVVIP What the fuck are you talking about? You can get MS Office Family Edition (3 licenses) for ~100 EUR. That's like 33 EUR per license and you get Excel, Word, Powerpoint and One Note. That thing that 90% of all home users will ever need.
True, Outlook & Access is missing. Later one is one of the crappier products I never liked and Outlook is great tool, but has it's price.

So Microsoft says for just a few dollars more I can get pretty colors, and one less click. and ms office saves me the haste of being able to write in pdf. ms office also saves me from the harddrive space i don't care about, ms office also takes away the intuitive nature of a functional office program.... yeah. bill gates can keep ms office, and i'll keep my money.

@fishrule1942 Totally agree, but the main problem is childish ignorance and how cool it is to bash M$ :/

Open Office = best of best of price.
MS Office = too expensive, too many option that are even using it, only one way design of price...
Just one more thing that baffles me. Why is Microsoft using a free service like Youtube to criticize free software. Surely they can create a paid version of sharing videos.
People who prefer OpenOffice don't have a vested interest in promoting it. I just use it often and I'm happy with what I get. I'm not sure the same can be said of those who attack it and promote MS here.

Ok guys, OpenOffice/LibreOffice is free and great for writing a letter once in a while.
For whoever really wants to work and needs a serious office suite, there's just no alternative to Microsoft.
I've used OpenOffice at work for years, now we got Office 2010 and there's just no comparison. I also got it for my pc at home and would pay five times the price I did without hesistation.
