Desktop publishing with OpenOffice.org

,----[ Quote ]
| "Do you offer a program like Microsoft Publisher?" Some version of 
| this question appears regularly on the OpenOffice.org mailing lists. 
| Many people automatic answer "no," and say that Scribus is more 
| suitable for desktop publishing. But, in fact, OpenOffice.org 
| boasts two mid-level layout programs -- Draw and Writer -- each 
| of which is far more versatile than its name suggests.

Microsoft Office or OpenOffice?

,----[ Quote ]
| Let's turn to Microsoft Office. Again, it brings in a ton of 
| revenue to Redmond, even though there are full office productivity 
| suites that compete with it. My guess is that many of you can't 
| name one though -- and that is what Microsoft counts on, which is 
| branding power. The full-featured OpenOffice productivity suite 
| is pretty darn impressive (I've used it), and it's completely 
| free and interoperable with Microsoft Office (not sure about 
| Office 2007). Why don't more people use it then? Lack of knowing 
| it exists is a possibility, and having to download the suite or 
| order it for about $10 on CD may be obstacles. Plus, you can't 
| find it on Best Buy shelves. If customers start becoming smarter 
| and find out out about OpenOffice or even Google Inc.'s Google
| Apps, could a large piece of Microsoft's kingdom come 
| crashing down?
