Re:Open office != MS Office (Score 1)

As quality management consultant, I've seen many dreadful Excel document during audits : 1 quick and dirty database like 2 static chart without any formulas 3 embedded macros written by a trainee 2 years ago. Of course it's works as a black box and when something goes really bad nobody can't fix it (have to start from the scratch) 4 lists and calendar 5 form And one time, I've even seen a company use Excel/Words for managing their procedures and policies (kind of electronic document management). Of course everybody could edit these documents. Needless to say that the requirements for the ISO9001 certifications were far for being reached. I used Excel for many years but now when I really wants to make real statistics, I rather use R/python/gnuplot or Minitab/Origin (if open source is not a option). Plotting with Excel is more financial focused and not so well convenient for MSP / 6 Sigma My 0,02€ (sorry for my “english written by a french guy”)
