Is OpenOffice inferrior in any way to MS Office?

Sorry for my English :)Short answer - the interface, *IF* you are not used to it.

Long answer, considering you as a intelligent being: (I won't comment the price, of course)That's a very, very delicate question. I myself answered it a loooot of times to a looot of people. They both are programs with similar purpose. I use both of them in a daily base and I think the answer is "NO", it's not "inferior". But it's not "superior", too. They're just different. They both are better or worse based on the characteristics the job you need done.

http:/en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_office_suites

Yes, both of them have strong and weak points. MS Office has a lot of bells and twinkles and is easier to use, but is a way too cumbersome or too difficult or too architecturally bad to do some things done. MS Office has the better interface (I think so) and lots of marketing :) - I like MS Office to do little jobs and files that I wouldn't care to lose. I use OpenOffice to professional work (note: I'm not a designer) and files that I know I want to keep for a long time. The times I need a LOT of resources to do text editing I use a borrowed WordPerfect (a legal copy, ou course). Yet more professional and styled jobs? Call a designer and use InDesign :)

I use Excel since 1992 and Word since 1989 and in that 20 years I've seen A LOT of people lose their documents, or the files became corrupted... The internal organization of MS Office formats are a real mess, so I don't and I won't trust my important works to that suite ;)

I'm not trying to create any flamewars or trolling, that's just my reality. I have more than 10 000 documents in my computer, some are 18 years old and I can open and edit and index all of them. Be careful with the important things. I prefer a long term relationship.If I need real security or a more professional way to organize my documents across a enterprise, I usually choose OpenOffice. MS Office is locked to Windows and the Mac version is always late, so if I need to generate documents to be read on different operating systems I again choose OpenOffice. At the college (more than 10 years ago) I've used TeX (don't remember the editor) and WordPerfect and I can still today see and print the files exactly as they was at that time. Sorry MS Office, I tried for years to learn and like you as other people do, but your fancy interface with that ugly inners just got me away - but that's my thuth and not everyone's.

I know people who have only used OpenOffice and think MS Office way to work is "different", for a number of reasons, and wouldn't like to change.

I too know people who have only used MS Office and think OpenOffice way to work is "different", for another number of reasons, and wouldn't like to change, too.

And I know some people who use none of them - users of WordPerfect Office, KOffice/GnomeOffice, iWork, LyX (yes they exist and believe me, in this respect they are the happiest people I know), Google Docs, EasyOffice, Scribus...

People who uses some system (in daily base) usually hate to change their way to do the things, or the way they get their job done -- "Hey, the program can't do this and that!" "No granny, it does, look here and here." "Hummmpf, why can't be equal?". That's inertia, and the number one reason to criticism of other programs.

Be careful of "advocates" (i.e. "fanatics") of the systems, they "owns all the truth and know everything", usually have a twisted look of all the other programs. They do a very very big disservice to other people, by imposing their ideas.

So, the answer is... "DEPENDS". Use both systems. Try other ones. Think about them. Study their strong and weak points and not only the look and feel. If you've tried and tried and aren't happy with something, change. And be happy with your choices :)

What percentage of Microsoft Office features do we actually use?

There is no real answer to that question. Different users will use Office for different purposes. There are the basic users who do simple things and only use one or two of the applications. Then there are what you might call the power users, who use the more complicated aspects of the different applications and who will write macros and other code. So you have a broad range of users and how much they use. It is also not easy to quantify all of the features, as features can be used in different ways and clever users can do special things and use the features to creatively use an application. So you could have users who use the same features, but with some getting a lot more out of how they use them than others.

Is quickbooks compatible with vista?

"Technically". Intuit says it is, but they are forced to provide 3rd party software for things like the PDF creation "printer". As well, you will have to find the qbw.exe executable and set it for Windows XP compatibility mode and also force it to run as administrator.

In my experience, it works very poorly. I've basically decided to give up on it and go to a different vendor or at least upgrade to the newest version.

What are the disadvantages of accounting software?

Loss of Data or Service

  • When a business is reliant on accounting software, any loss of service due to a power or computer outage could cause a work disruption. Work disruptions can prevent the input of new information as well as prevent access to stored information. Additionally, if information is not properly backed up, a computer outage could result in lost financial data.
Incorrect Information
  • The information in an accounting system is only as valid as the information put into the system. Since most accounting systems require some manual input of data, financial results could be incorrect unless all input data is reviewed. If there is a tendency to only review the final reports or output of an accounting system, it may be difficult to find faulty information.
System Configuration
  • Every business has unique aspects that may cause difficulties when it tries to tailor a generic accounting software package to its needs. While customization is available for many programs, it may cause downtime and potential inaccuracies if not done correctly. Also, as a business grows, there may be a need to change accounting software packages; this could cause a large disruption, as information must be migrated and new training is needed for personnel.
Cost
  • A disadvantage of accounting software is the cost involved. Beyond the initial outlay to purchase the software there is the cost of maintenance, customization, training and computer hardware. While time savings may justify the cost, for some businesses it may take years before an accounting software investment pays for itself.
Fraud
  • Information stored electronically can be manipulated and accessed if proper controls and security measures are not in place. Strict controls are needed to make sure only authorized personnel use the accounting software and have access to reports. Since financial data can be sensitive and confidential, using accounting software creates the potential for fraud

How is the use of electronic spreadsheet more beneficial than the old manual paper based system?

  1. If the spreadsheet program is any good, the calculations based on the entries in the spreadsheet will always be correct. In manual spreadsheets, the calculation is only as accurate as the person performing the calculation and as accurate as that person is in transcribing the results of their calculation.
  2. Electronic spreadsheets do not occupy much space - just the space for the electronic storage media - thus you just need a decent hard drive to contain tens of thousands of spreadsheets instead of a room full of filing cabinets.
  3. Sending a copy of an electronic spreadsheet to someone else just requires an internet connection and can be done almost instantly compared to mailing or faxing a copy of a manual worksheet
  4. It is fairly simple to link the contents of one (or more) spreadsheet to another to perform additional calculations compared to digging out all the manual worksheets that might be needed and transcribing the information repeatedly for each separate piece of information.

Advantages n disadvantages of traditional file system?

A disadvantage of a traditional file system is human error. When a file is filed in the wrong place it can be a long time before the file is located. Another disadvantage is the possibility of fire destroying the records. An advantage to this type of filing system is that there is a hard copy of everything that is filed. A file can be copied for several users of the file.

What is the differences between Microsoft Project 2007 Standard and Microsoft Project 2007 Professional?

Here's Microsoft's explanation:

Office Project Standard 2007 is the latest version of the desktop project management program. As a stand-alone product, Office Project Standard 2007 helps project managers, business managers, and planners to manage and plan projects independently with familiar, easy-to-use tools. Office Project Standard 2007 is not designed to exchange data with Office Project Server 2007.

Office Project Professional 2007 is the desktop client that is also used to connect with Office Project Server 2007 as part of the Office EPM Solution. Office Project Professional 2007 offers all the tools found in Office Project Standard 2007, and when used with Office Project Server 2007, it also provides powerful EPM capabilities such as collaboration, management of shared resources, portfolio management, and reporting across projects and programs run by different project managers.

So what does that mean? Standard and Professional are the same unless you are going to use Project Server. Professional is required for Project Server and will cost nearly double. Otherwise, save your organization money and get Standard (retail $599/$349 upgrade vs. $999/599 upgrade).

Of course, please bear in mind that you may have future needs for Project Server so if that's the case, Project Professional should also be considered for your organization's growth, even if you don't need it today.
