This thread is about Bing's supposed flawed search algorithm or censorship. I ask you all to please not derail this discussion.
My school uses Office 2001, it makes me rage.
That local restaurants thing doesn't work for me, and google's facepunch results are better because it shows subforums, but the flights one is pretty cool
unless you wanted information about flights to new york instead of an opportunity to purchase one that is

My school uses office 2000, it's essentially the same thing as all the subsequent versions, just without docx compatibility, which can be added in a patch. Stop whining.

I prefer MS Office to open office, mostly due to the fact it isn't slow as shit and ugly looking.[/QUOTE]
If OpenOffice ever corrects those two things (I've never really noticed the speed thing, but completely agree about the UI), then it could be a serious competitor to Office.
OO is decent, but it lacked .docx support last I tried it and the headers/footers are in terrible locations. My teacher took a letter grade off my paper because she thought the margin was just right aligned at the top (hint: it wasn't, it was in the actual margin field). Couldn't get her to believe me.

Office 2007 and 2010 are far better than their predecessors.

Mine uses 2007 in the IT classes, and 2003 everywhere else for now, they're gonna upgrade to windows 7 soon too :D

Yeah, because moving the buttons and menus to random positions makes the user interface so much more consistent.

You get used to it. Just like people did when they added the original toolbars.
Also your post is flawed because what you said sarcastically is very possible.

How about you take 20 minutes to learn how it works. After that you'll realize that trying to find things is a lot easier than fumbling around in menus. Office 2007 is amazing and I loved it when I had it, and it adds tons of useful features like in-text citation generation and MLA bibliography generation right in the program itself.
I usually use open office but if I can I use office beta.
I use MS Office on all my systems, including my Linux systems.
OpenOffice is total shit compared to MSoffice 2010.
Well I agree with Panda X, Bing is awesome. :D So, is everything else MS has been doing lately, and Office 2010 is sweet with the ribbons.

They're not going to get my business until they fix those two things and add VBA support in their version of Excel.

Don't get me wrong I love my office 2010 and would never go back, but the old versions aren't awful.

This isn't about which is superior, this is about why OpenOffice's official website doesn't come up in Bing's search results.

We've already gone over that. It ended.

What is there to say? Either it's a flaw in the search program itself or Microsoft decided to be mean to OO. Considering that searches for other MS-competing products (Apple, Linux distros, Google Chrome, Opera, etc) work fine I'm guessing it's the former.
This is what I was looking for! I was trying to find the "free office" but I never new what it was called! Thank you!
/slightly offtopic
OpenOrifice is not a threat, though it is free. Admittedly, It an OK free alternative though not even close to Office 2003 or 2007 in many ways.

Bing looks nice and friendly off it's home page, But stuff like this, Microsoft is extremely biased.

The reason why. It is openoffices flaw.
I can't get Office 2007 to work in Wine 1.2 :frown:
Looks like I'm stuck with OpenOffice for now. -_-
Bing couldn't find pigshit if it's server was on a farm.
