The actual computer magazine c't compared OpenOffice and LibreOffice and come to the result that the new versions of LibreOffice (4.1.x) had more features than OpenOffice. (but often unneeded like the work counting ... never understodd who needs such features I never was asked how many words a my document contains)
But the conclusion was: *LibreOffice is VERY BUGGY* I can confirm this: I Installed LibreOffice on the Windows 7 64 bit PC of a friend, which he use since Version 3.6. Last Month I did an upgrade to libreoffice 4.1 on his PC. Now he had big troubles: From time to time he got the error "Program does not respond" I installed now the portable Libreoffice Versions 4.0.x and 4.1.x and asked him to try out the both ... always the same problems. He could not work with these versions. Now I downgraded to libreoffice 3.6 and all works fine. On my Kubuntu 64 bit Linux I had no problems with LibreOffice, so its perhaps the Windows version which is actually more buggy. Please Guys ... SLOW DOWN THE FEATURE ADDITIONS and TEST IT BETTER. Nobody gives pressure on you, at least not me: I am a great fan of LibreOffice and switched from OpenOffice to LibreOffice a long time ago. But ... I will not recommend it to my friends in the next time, sorry. Anton Kunwar Shivpal Singh wrote: > Hi ALL, > > As appraised to you all I am an ordinary computer user limited to word, > excel & ppt.
