yes, quite true.
the reasons I still use 5.2:
1. the calendar. as stated, I am still using StarOffice Schedule
2. the integrated desktop. as stated, I happen to like it. I wish that
it were available as an option in the new product.
3. stability. OpenOffice seems prone to crashing when opening Microshaft
crap that it can't handle. 5.2 is solid as a rock. If anything, it may
refuse to open the
document, or open it and render it poorly. But it will not crash.
OpenOffice will crash. Then you wind up sitting and waiting as you
restart it. I do not download & install nightly builds of OpenOffice.
Perhaps this has improved in the past month. I expect that if it hasn't,
it will.
