And yes, OpenOffice is available free for your Mac if you want it - ever actually tried to do work with it?

You could run Microsoft Office with WINE with Ubuntu but I don't and am perfectly happy using OpenOffice for my purposes.
And how much is MS office for Linux or Turbo Tax ? Oh right there is Open Office ..... but what about the docx incompatibility issues? I think it is time for u to find another bridge....
Whatever u have for Linux there is a Mac version or ask me to compile it .... next that is getting old

or use fink and or darwin ports ...
fink is great because of it's similarties to apt-get and it's inclusion of dpkg (I'm a huge Debian fan on the server). I just wish it was as up-to-date with it's packages as macports is.
I use and prefer OpenOffice, it comes with Linux.
It's just that some folks are so used to the M$ Office versions they don't want to try anything else. I even hear people in the Apple Store buying the M$ version for MAC, in spite of the salesman telling them all you did. They think they can't live without the M$ version, my sister is one of them people.
For her EVERYTHING has to be M$ approved or she won't use it!....
This is the reason my sister won't use OpenOffice. She heard it's incompatible with the M$ Office version, plus it 'looks' different....
I used them sites with M$.
With the Linux repositories, there is no need for them anymore in Linux.
Might as well give up, I think Woody has a Jaunty Jackalope where his brain used to be...
Nah, he's just backpedaling after getting his "free" argument handed back to him in a diaper.
LOL!
Jaunty Jackalope just runs trouble free....
Oh contraire mon frère

You are warned to not even use Safari on Windows because it's such a sieve.
ALL systems M$/Mac/Liux have bugs in that ranking, nothing is perfect.

the list of 224 Open bugs were the build u r presently using and only the Ubuntu specific .... all for free... since your time is obviously worthless.
I only sent u the list that Ubuntu tracks that are Ubuntu specific ... not any of the others from Open Source projects they adopt.
