“The Microsoft Office component, Word got the nod from
53 people in contrast to the 25 who chose the OpenOffice offering
of Writer. Very little was explained to the viewers except that
Word, bundled in the latest Microsoft Office offering could cost
them in excess of $200.00 US while OpenOffice was free to use and
modify.

“It didn’t seem to make much difference.

“Cosmetically, one could see why people chose Word over Writer
at 2-1. It has a pretty blue theme contrasted by the rather stark
and blocky presentation of Writer. But again, to a point this is
more of a theming issue I believe. Some interesting things happened
when we moved on to the music apps.”
