Libre Office vs Open Office: which of them do you prefer?

[pousinha]

We know Libre Office is the productivity suite coming as default in all (or the main) Linux distros. Unlike its cousin Microsoft Office that costs a fortune, Libre Office is offered for free. But it exists Open Office also, a very similar open source suite, maybe lighter than its sister Libre Office. Both Libre Office and Open Office are distributed to be downloaded in Windows environments too. Did you try both? Which of them do you prefer?

I was using open office a decade ago, now i do not require any spreadsheet software since important data is not stored in the computer. Do you use linux computers?

 

[pousinha]

Yes, I use 2 distros (Ubuntu and Debian). Both presenting suite Libre Office default. In any way, I can't get rid of Windows completely, as universities and banks in my country adore Microsoft tools. I also need a for free video maker to improve my secondary job, that only Windows properly runs.

I have just been used to Open office and would stick with it. But I heard Libre Office is very excellent too.

Yes, it's a very good productivity suite, perhaps only needing more space than Open Office. I mainly use Writer, the tool I mostly need. Writer lets us convert our jobs in PDF.

For me l back for the open office. There is the thrill of working with others as a team rather than confining oneself on the same room

So you use Linux? I thought there was a Microsoft Office version for Linux? I would choose Open office though because of easier navigation.

Until I know, Microsoft Office only works in a Windows environment (maybe MAC also, but I'm not sure). Open Office is the sister of Libre Office and works in Microsoft devices. Libre Office, in its side, works in both Linux and Windows.

The size of the office really depends on the size of your business. Most small businesses requires a simple office for it's work.

I have not tried or use it. I may try it soon to know the difference. As of this moment, I will continue using what I used to .

Until I know. Microsoft at this moment is only offering Office 360, that should be very heavy for small netbooks only owning a simple memory of 4 GIGA (maybe, unless owning a SSD of at least 500). I don't know if a smaller Microsoft Office is currently offered.
