OpenOffice beats MS-Office

It's great to see how successful OpenOffice.org has become since I first started using it when it was StarOffice, the OOo betas and now at version 2.0. I even saw there is an "Essential Open Office" magazine here in the UK newsagents, showing off features and covering The GIMP as well (still got that silly product name..)

The gripes I have about OOo Calc are that it doesn't have +D as Fill down working. Also the Del/Backspace key function is inconsistent between the GNU-Linux and MS-Windows editions. Also when deleting, or cutting the contents of a cell it set's the cell to some horrid font (and it isn't easy to globally set the defaults to something reasonable like Helvetica, why doesn't it have sensible defaults?)

Still, always better that MS-Excel, which even in its latest version does not let me have to Excel windows open at the same time side by side! How annoying!
