看来自己还是适合MS Office。不过不全是这里的一些理由。如果选择，情愿选择WPS。

选择OpenOffice.org 2.0的7个理由
OpenOffice.org 2.0 is Free Software. It won't hurt you to just install it, even if you later also install MS Office

OpenOffice.org 2.0 understands more file formats than MS Office. You can open an MS Word document in OpenOffice.org, but you cannot open an OpenOffice.org Writer document in MS Office

OpenOffice.org 2.0 works on many platforms: Windows, Linux, Solaris, Mac OS X, and more while MS Office only works on two: Windows and Mac

OpenOffice.org 2.0 file formats are open and standardized. This ensures the long term viability of documents

OpenOffice.org 2.0 generates PDF files from its documents, spreadsheets and presentations for easier sharing

OpenOffice.org 2.0 contains a new database module, not unlike MS Access, that is based on the pure Java database engine HSQLDB and allows users to create form based applications and reports based on the data

OpenOffice.org 2.0's document format, OpenDocument, itself an industry standard, is being adopted as "standards" by huge organizations, like the U.S. state of Massachusetts. They are already posting *.odt formatted documents on the web

选择MS Office的4个理由

You are a heavy MS Office user and just don't feel like learning a new thing all over again

You are in an environment where MS Office is the standard and it would take five years to change that

MS Office formatted document is the end product of your work and the fidelity requirements are high (particular fonts, etc.)

You simply like the feeling of paying Microsoft money (or make your employer pay just to highlight your importance)
