Microsofts new Anti-OpenOffice Commercial
 


What do you think? Looks like they start to take OpenOffice as a very serious threat.

I love MS Office and tried open office several time, but I could never get used to it....

DaLord 10-16-2010 02:24 AM

If Microsoft says OpenOffice is shit then they are doing something right on openoffice.org.

Free isn't always free.

Machete_ 10-16-2010 02:28 AM

torrents for the win

Emil 10-16-2010 02:29 AM

I think OpenOffice if a great alternative to Microsoft Office for the home user and of course all companies that just need the basics... Not many people need to build macros and shit. They just need the basic features that OpenOffice can provide.

XX_RydeR 10-16-2010 02:36 AM

That's one way to advertise lol.

jonnydoe 10-16-2010 02:49 AM

fuck ms and billy

scarlettcontent 10-16-2010 03:07 AM

Emil 10-16-2010 03:30 AM

I would love to see OpenOffice website stats now after MS "attack"...

TheDoc 10-16-2010 04:01 AM

I've used OpenOffice for years... I've never ran into an issue where OpenOffice didn't do what I needed it to do.


That video makes it sound like if my Windows7 broke and I called support, that MS would update the software (fix the code problem) to correct my problem... and OpenOffice wouldn't or rather couldn't because it was open source. MS must be scared of OO like no other.

Open Office has gained popularity and Microsoft is shitting itself. This effort from Microsoft demonstrates that Open Office is doing all the right stuff. More FUD from Microsoft, who would have thought ? lol.

AmigoPorn 10-16-2010 04:14 AM

If MS says so, then it must be so

The Duck 10-16-2010 04:50 AM

Thing is, IT DOESN'T BREAK!

Klen 10-16-2010 05:32 AM

I would love to see a similar video made my Open Office in response to this :)

Back when i worked in mainstream fulltime for a web dev company, I had ms word crash so fucking often that i started writing things using pen and paper instead. That's how bad MS Word is.

Openoffice hasn't let me down ONCE.

ottopottomouse 10-16-2010 06:20 AM

Microsoft must be shitting themselves if they are resorting to bullshit scare stuff about the competitions product.

k0nr4d 10-16-2010 06:27 AM

If it works, we should make commercials like this too.

That's also what I'm thinking. Btw, I thought it was Libre Office now?

Klen 10-16-2010 07:41 AM

Also,only thing which missing on openoffice is base like ms access,but i dont need that anymore so i dont care.
They even used same excuse as for win vs linux (support cost more for linux)
