It is the only fully cross-platform office suite with pretty much the same functionality and interface independent of platform. I would take a bet that 90% of people who use MS Office don’t need to pay for it, but can do fine with OOo/LO. It reads and writes all MS Office formats (except for Access files.)

Contrary to a widespread assumption about documentaries, impactful docs are not about causes, issues or historical facts. We’ve grown up with platforms to connect with others, new ways to discover and share stories, and a global consciousness that is unprecedented.
