Ok, so I've never been a massive fan of open source, usually they have the exact same features for software that usually doesn't cost me much (student discount on Microsoft stuff).

Nevertheless, I've been hassling with product activation for Microsoft Office XP (long story) so I gave in and downloaded OpenOffice (http://www.openoffice.org) and I like it, I like it alot. It's equal but has export to PDF, a huge bonus to me. Then, when I was looking at Adobe Acrobat after reading this (http://www.pocketpcthoughts.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=147841) post. I then remembered I installed ClearVue Document Viewer so I didn't lose formatting when looking at my Word documents.

So, basically what I noticed is, I use Microsoft OSes, I use Microsoft Office standards, but more and more I don't like Microsoft programs.
