not s ms supporter but ...
at work I use only microsoft ... since that is company policy ... but all my documents at home are OpenOffice ...

and to be honest ... microsoft office WAS a superior product to OOo 1.x ... so don't think the buggy software tag applies to them so much these days as in the past ...

been using OOo 2 ... it is great ... perhaps now microsoft office has a real competitor ... but it (OOo) is rather slow to load rel to ms office ...
