Is this site to exclude OOo? – C.W.Holeman II Mar 5 '11 at 23:53
@C.W.HolemanII: I see no good good reason why exclude it, especially considering how close they are to each. They are almost twins, only that one developed some mutations. – Tshepang Mar 18 '11 at 17:31

Building software is very subjective: it depends on so many attributes that it's nearly impossible to compare build times across systems. Build times only matter when comparing them between different versions of the software (i.e. complete rebuild of an update). – Tyler K. Apr 2 '11 at 2:13

I have a thesis to write. Which software is better to use for that task, MS Office or LibreOffice?
added by geoffrey Jun 14 '11 at 7:10

This is meant as an 'off-topic' question - 'better' is subjective – geoffrey Jun 14 '11 at 7:11
Yes, but even ignoring that, the replies would likely be heavily biased towards LO on an LO support site; I don't envision many MS Office users on here. :) – WChargin Jan 9 at 7:13
