Disagree
Loverock I do agree that security issues with a program is a big issue. But
the alternatives aren't much better at dealing with these issues either.
There will always be flaws in software open source or not. Though
because of the nature of the open source development model, the
software tends to have less flaws. The question remains is does open
office tend to have more security flaws then office? In reality I can't say
for sure. But my guess this that their just about the same, and if you
disagree I would like you to show me the facts.
