Try it? Office on a laptop with no room with a mouse is so much better as a result with the alt key and the previews.The digital age has taken productivity to heights it could never even get close to before. Keyboard shortcuts work better when I hit the alt key. With ribbons I can preview changes before I make select them. Does this mean it is now inferior because *I* do not know where something is? That was 6 years ago! Today when I go on a coworkers computer with Office 2007 with Outlook which still has menus I am stomped as I do not know where everything else. :-(Īfter 1 month I got it and preferred it over the menus. It took me 1 week back in 2007 to get the hang of it and yes I was a little frustrated at first. Then of course people who were set in their ways whinned when 2007 came out and it and now it is uncool here. The ribbon was talked about and was cool back then in 2004 when MS R&D showed what it could do. My worst was the nested menus and options where I needed many mouse clicks to perform tasks. My opinion maybe unpopular here with a large group of slashdotters but I actually hated the menu in Office 2003 and the silly menus to show more. Just because learning something new is hard doesn't mean something was taken away. Name one function that was removed since 2003. A cross-platform, full-featured office suite would just solidify that trend. But mobile (and, yes, Chromebooks) have demonstrated that the general public doesn't need or particularly want it at home. There's just way too much inertia there in terms of third-party apps. Windows will continue to dominate in the business world.

Much as a full-featured office suite would make Android laptops a viable - and even attractive - alternative, that doesn't seem to be their priority (though their use of Open Document formats in their online apps is helpful). Are they still afraid of losing the official MSOffice for the Mac? Google seems to have a difference of opinion about where document processing should happen. You'd think Apple would want to help that happen. But if Libre got really good - and became available (and successful) on mobiles - iOS devices would continue to be able to compete on the merits.

The minute Windows mobile devices gain some traction (or the iOS/Android versions outlive their usefulness in some other way), the non-Windows versions will become second-class. Yes, they're coming out with iOS and Android versions - but that's just a desparation move. In fact, Microsoft's last best hope for success in mobile lies in the fact that Windows tablets can be bundled with MSOffice. Macs have benefited from that - as well as the fact that the success of the iThings has accelerated the process.Ī successful LibreOffice would be the next step toward making the second biggest use of computers cross-platform. The reason iPhones and iPads were able to take off is that the web (and web standards) made it possible to do most of what you do with a computer without that computer having to run Windows. LibreOffice has the potential to be fully cross-platform, and it would seem to me to be to Apple's benefit to make it seriously good.
