Office is nothing but an expensive peace of sh*t as any other Microsoft product, which follow no open standard abusing of its dominance in the market. Office uses closed standards and protocols making competition almost impossible: it isn't dominant because it's better, it's dominant because it's dominant, and there will never be any competitor capable of developing a fully compatible alternative. That "virtual" monopoly explains the absurd price of a stupid single license of a suite of programs that is not that complex and has one of the most confusing user interface I've ever seen before.<br />Google Docs misses lots of features, including some essential ones. But for doing most tasks it's more than enough, and it's free, with no ads, with the best collaborative tools I've ever seem before.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16596616890757114229noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18157064.post-53984844921585329912012-01-26T22:46:34.881-08:002012-01-26T22:46:34.881-08:00Wow people, why can't anyone see the dream.
