Which Office Suite do I like?

March 28, 2012

I got asked this in a class recently, and I thought I would answer it here.  I decided that I would look at just three of the major office suites out there, MS Office, LibreOffice, and iWork.  I am going to grade them according to usefulness, cross platform ability, and price.  Then I will tell [...]
