MS Fluent is horrible, IMO.

I didn't include any Ribbon screen shots. Server 2003 had last decent Windows GUI, though at least on Vista (and mostly Win7) you could turn off stupidity. On XP you had to turn off a lot of stupid too.

Very bad idea to move SAME document back and forth between any two different applications. LO Writer is converting each time if you open docx. Stick to MS Word or LO Writer. IMO anything else is madness, unless it's plain text in a text Editor (Jota, Notepad++, KATE etc). I've various versions of MS Office and Word for Windows from Word 2.0a to Word 2007. I did prefer MS Word for DOS to Wordstar and Wordperfect (DOS). I wasn't much impressed with Star Office on Windows 3.11.
