Feature Comparison: LibreOffice – Microsoft Office

Published by Robert Pogson October 24th, 2012 in technology. 1 Comment

One of the places where trolls claim superiority of features/innovation is the office suite. Here is a side-by-side comparison of features between LibreOffice and M$’s office suite. You will notice there are some places where LibreOffice has a nice feature but M$ has none and vice-versa. I would call it a draw. Certainly LibreOffice works for me and costs much less.

Great information!

At the rate development, M$ Office will become irrelevant, notice that the majority of red items in the LibreOffice column shows either a bug, a workaround, an extension, or in development – experimental status.

In 2-3 years LibreOffice will be equal and no one will want to pay M$ a subscription fee, for the right to create documents and spreadsheets.

My Mission

My observations and opinions about IT are based on 40 years of use in science and technology and lately, in education. I like IT that is fast, cost-effective and reliable. I do not care whether my solution is the same as yours. I like to think for myself.

My first use of GNU/Linux in 2001 was so remarkably better than what I had been using, I feel it is important work to share GNU/Linux with the world. I have been blessed by working in schools where students and school systems have benefited by good, modular software easily installed in most systems.

I have shown GNU/Linux to thousands of students and hundreds of teachers over the years and will continue in some way doing that until I die in spite of the opposition.
