OpenOffice trails MS Office in vulnerabilities

[revolution]

This week Microsoft Office once again affirmed its leadership in the office software world by releasing news of not one, two, or three, but five security holes.

Meanwhile, OpenOffice.org, the primary open source competitor to MS Office, has no vulnerabilities to report. And OpenOffice developers say they have no plans to introduce Microsoft-competitive vulnerabilities, even though most PC users obviously consider insecurity a vital part of the computing experience.

ive heard about this too but i doubt most average users will switch to open office anytime soon. i like it alot but it takes almost 30 seconds for any OO application to run which is really annoying when MS office will open in mere seconds. given it is built into the os but this is also the problem mozilla has. people are not patient they want something that will open quickly and work most of the time. the average user doesnt care about security vunerabilities until they are affected by them. OO and Mozilla are superior in every area except startup speed and memory usage.
