What does Microsoft Office have over OpenOffice, LibreOffice, and other Open Source alternatives?
Just curious. What are the key features that MS Office has over other free word processors that make people pay hundreds of dollars for it? I am by no way saying that Open Source is better than proprietary software, in fact, most proprietary normally has more user-friendly options and sometimes more features, but I think people should consider it.
Open Office and Libre Office is compatible with MS Office files too.
Is this legitimate? Does the GNU license allow for resale of OpenOffice like this?

How do I work with “open-source” programs?
