LibreOffice patches malicious code-execution bug, Apache OpenOffice – wait for it, wait for it – doesn't

Libre Office is fine if you are working alone; and simple letters and essays can be exchanged with the Rest of the World.

But try that with complicated documents, containing tables, lists, footnotes, pictures, drop caps, page numbers, sections in two-column format, various fonts, an index and a table of contents -- and one or more minor details will be wrong. For one document, you can fix it; but for a dozen documents a day it is too much. These tend to be important documents with a life of many years, shared by many people.

If Libre Office ruled the world, it would be a Microsoft problem of course.
