OpenOffice is dead | |

I just don’t see much of a place in mainstream education for OpenOffice anymore. Pre-loaded on laptops and netbooks in developing countries where Internet access is unreliable or non-existent? You bet. But why use OpenOffice when most of your users can work quite well with Apps and licensing costs for Office are low for the small number of users who need a full-blown desktop suite? | ||

Christopher Dawson apparently does not have any budget issues in his home if his advice is to throw away a free office suite that works well for many households and retired people on a fixed income. He claims to know people that use it than goes on to say they no longer need it and then asks "Am I wrong?" In short, yes. Google Docs is a poor substitute for any local suite that does what the user needs. MS Office will be around until .... just about forever.
