OSS expert?! (Score 1)

Brown is not your usual ignorant Microsoft-bribed hack. He has himself contributed macros for OpenOffice users.

Yeah, what ever, I think I can almost hear RMS screaming in the background! While we are on the subject of RMS: commercial does not equal proprietary Red Hat and Fedora are commercial as is OOo because they are developed by business (Red Hat and Sun) but they are also OSS.

IMO a lot of this article is flawed. Just because there have been 50000 bug reports doesn't mean there are 50000 bugs. Firefox has more bug reports than that doesn't mean IE is better. Maybe OOo isn't perfect but ist only v.2 and made a huge jump from 1 to get there.
