[TriLUG] Review of Open Office - good as MS

[Jon Carnes]

This review of Open Office is fairly straight forward. The author
concludes that Open Office can easily replace MS's product.  The only
caveats are:
 - embedded spreadsheets, they work fine but can't be shared between MS
and OO (if they aren't embedded, then no problems!)
 - OO has no database, it relies on MySQL or PostgreSQL.
