Open Office 2.0 vs. MS Office

Open Office 2.0 Kicks MS Office Around the Block is an article by Alice Hill. I’m agree Open Office 2.0 is much much better than Open Office 1.1. I remember my first impression of it: terrible slowly, poor compatibility with MS Office documents, ugly interface. But during 2 years Open Office has grown and it continues to grow. Now we can compare it with MS Office. One of useful features of OO is convertion documents in the different formats like PDF, XML, DocBook etc. MS Office cannot do it without installation of specific plugins.
But there is an one thing which presents in MS Office and which is lacking in Open Office (I need that when I copy some artcle from browser to the text editor). It’s an intergration with web browser. Try to copy some text with tables, styles and pictures from Firefox to OO Writer. You’ll see only text! In my mind it’s useful feature and it’ll be great if Open Office developers implement it.
