With the exception of the free 60-day trial that you can download and test drive.īut the matter is another altogether. At the same time, Office 2007 is not free. The recovery mechanism works near to perfection and in a matter of minutes I was always back at work. Not even one of the 50 crashes actually made me lose any significant amount of data. It does impact my workflow, but on the other hand, I must applaud the excellent recovery infrastructure of OpenOffice. I can deal with 50 crashes in three months because I take it as the hidden price associated with the free label. The fact that I consider it deeply inferior to the Office 2007 System, or even to Office 2003 means absolutely nothing. Now OpenOffice is more than sufficient for my everyday work. But free for a reason, because you get every dollar's worth. Now, while it is obvious that an application that crashes or stops working 49 times in three months is far from a healthy level of quality standards, OpenOffice is also open source and free.
For your viewing pleasure, only I have managed to integrate two screenshots detailing the OpenOffice 2.2 errors in my copy of Windows Vista Business. According to the error monitoring infrastructure in Vista, OpenOffice 2.2 crashed or became unresponsive no less than 49 times in the past three months. Still, I would like to underline that mine is a subjective position, based on the statistics compiled by the Windows Error Reporting service. The free open source productivity suite OpenOffice is the absolute worst Windows Vista application.
