Why Open Office

Why I am going to train my brothers with Open Office? First, I think that we should be able to work with both open and proprietary productivity tools. Secondly, I dislike MS Office.

My brothers have no such bias towards Microsoft. In fact, they love MS products. They think that Office 2000 is easier to use than Open Office. I do not argue them, Since I haven't used either of these suites to a point where I could say that one of them is more difficult. I don't blame my brothers for taking the MS side in this debate. In an environment where every one is using pirated Office XP every where, they think that Microsoft opens a world of opportunities to them. Who uses Open Office in Pakistan? They ask me and I can not answer this question.
