I think Microsoft put enough time and effort into redesigning the Office Suite so that it puts OpenOffice a little behind. The first response that I always hear when I tell people how nice the new interface is for Microsoft Office is that it can't make a big difference. Then once they start using it they absolutely love it. I’ll definitely be a Microsoft Office user for a little while to come as well, all because of the redesigned interface.

I have been an Office user for years, and now that it has the ribbon, I think I will be an Office user for years to come. Not that OpenOffice.org isn't good, though. I've actually converted a few people from illegal use of Office to OOo. I really don't think there would be as much pirating of Office if more people knew about OOo. I mean, if they're pirating, they probably don't need the advanced functions of Office, anyway, and who chooses to steal when there are better alternatives?

Also the compatibility with Microsoft Office is very good especially when I need to turn in an assignment via soft copy. Inferno_str1ke wrote:
