“Even as these numbers speak of the domination of LibreOffice
over the Office tools segment, there is room for thought, that it
will soon break critical mass and move and become the most used
office suite as Microsoft Office looks traction because of two
major aspects ? the phenomenal prices at which each version of the
suite is sold and the claustrophobic licensing factor. In contrast
LibreOffice, encourages and engages in the opposite, offering any
number of downloads and use for almost the same set of tools ? for
spreadsheets, database creation, Math or desktop publishing.
Despite paying due credit to Microsoft?s more mature platform and
dedicated development input, the increase in contribution and
excellent open governance model is fast moving LibreOffice to
streamline its suite and offer a great package.”
