Microsoft plans to raise the prices of its office software in Germany – but #LibreOffice comes to the rescue! It also helps to free companies and organisations from vendor lock-in: blog.documentfoundation.org/bl…
Microsoft plans to raise the prices of its office software in Germany – and other services – significantly (article in German here). And not just once, but every six months there are to be “price adjustments”.
Why would you buy bloated, overpriced, office software from #Microsoft when you can have the excellent #LibreOffice? It's easy to convert files if necessary.
it actually goes beyond reason that public institutions (national EU&UN ) still runs msoffice . Your alternative is so much better, and if public institutions wants to spend money on software they should spend our money on you. Keep the great work
does anybody per chance have numbers on how much money German public institutions are forking over to MS only for Office licenses? One or two digit billions? Imagine that money was spent only once for a UX overhaul and other development of LibreOffice ...
With all respect, if you show this to a UX concepter, she'll see lots to improve. I'm not a UX concepter myself, but I work for a company that does it. Also, last time I gave the Powerpoint replacement a try, it was a nightmare to use... I totally like LibreOffice, though!
I believe #LibreOffice is a suitable document processing app. It is capable of formating and presenting docs the way user wants or prefers and supports #OpenType features

At least with Free Software it won’t be as much of a concern.
