I have not seen Open Office for a while,...

Then try it again, please. You may like it--you may not. But at least you will be talking from experience, and not from obsolete knowledge. It's like a *nix geek saying windows sucks because Win95 was just a GUI on top of another OS.

I never said Open Office sucks. What I did say was most power users I know prefer MS Office. It does not surprise me, however, that MS Office would have more features since they spend a ton of money on it and Open Office is all open source support. From the reviews I have read, it is mainly trying to keep up with MS and its whole goal is to undermine MS Office.

I do occasionally look at the latest comparisons between the two but have been using MS Office since I moved to Excel from Lotus and Word from WordPerfect.

The bottom line is however, is that if you are paying someone 6 figures and he/she wants MS Office, you would be nuts not to give it to him/her.
