It is rather unfortunate that MS Office sets the bar for office suite of programs and so many people (not necessarily in CS/IT/Tech) can only think Office == MS Office. The only way for an Open Source equivalent to dethrone MS Office is to beat MS Office at its own game WHILE retaining compatibility to it. Perhaps, retain a MS Office compatible core, and invest mindshare in making an absurdly fast, intuitive, and productive UI that is not necessarily the same as MS Office. Show people why one would want to use LibreOffice instead of the only factor being that it's free (as in beer and as in speech). The day the suite of Libre Office impresses me enough to use it on my laptop inspite of having MS Office installed is when the tide changes.. Sort of like the Mozilla of Office programs. |
