Just one more reason to love free software...

I just finished reading this review of OpenOffice in the Washington Post. It goes over most of the obvious stuff, OpenOffice is a variant of the commerical StarOffice, lacking only some filters and a Database.

The neat bit was...

I was annoyed enough by the limited, hidden word-count function to file a feature request at the OpenOffice.org Web site. Two days later, I saw that my report had been assigned a tracking number and a programmer, with his e-mail address listed.

You don't see that with Microsoft. :) And I doubt you ever will.
