Comment on A German state is ditching Windows and Microsoft Office for Linux and LibreOffice on the 30,000 PCs it uses for local government functions

This is disingenuous and misleading.

Yes compatibility with Word with complex formatting is problematic, but is that really libreoffice or is it Ms office?

For documents drafted in LibreOffice complex formatting is rock solid. It’s patently false to say its just generally inferior to Word in this regard.

Yeah it is always funny when people shit on non-MS office suites for not being 100% comaltible with MS Office, when it is Microsoft who doesn’t stick to the international standards.

  How can they be international standards if they don’t include Microsoft? Doesn’t Microsoft and all its employees count as part of this global international world? See, Microsoft is the victim here.

    You might want to look into what standardization means.
