No, my point is that SO is a product by a much smaller organisation than MS.
So far, SO has never just 'disappeared' before my eyes as Word does
regularly while still holding onto the file you're working on so you can't
reload it and have to reboot the machine to get it back. My point is that
size for size, MSOffice should be a hell of a lot better than it is, so
should StarOffice but I have more goodwill twords them given the large
platform count they're building for vs. the organisation size and cash vault
size. Now that they're being bankrolled by Sun I'd expect things to improve
dramatically next version and I'll be none too impressed either if they
dont.
