SirClicksalot writes "CNN is reporting that Vic Gundotra, a 15-year veteran general manager at Microsoft, has left the company to join Google. Gundotra worked at Microsoft as general manager for platform evangelism to get software developers to use Microsoft's software and online offerings. The function he will perform at Google is not yet known, but he will need to wait one year before starting his new job because of a non-compete clause in his contract."

hi,

I was always very skeptical of ooo.

I still am a bit worried about what Sun might do to it, and certainly they are not very open about letting extra contributors in - this is the impression I get from michael meeks blog.

But I am quite amazed in how good the word processor is. I have been using it on a daily basis for about 18 month and it is absolutely brilliant. It is about 99% right for what I need.

I use it for essays and letters, but also for desktop publishing newsletters. It gets the job done. It is slow on my P450/328meg ram, but I survive.

Thank you ooo.

Although I will always use gnumeric as my spreadsheet. Gnumeric is pure brilliance. And I would happily switch to Abiword if it can ever catch up to ooo.
