Both articles basically (and probably unwittingly) deal with vendor lock-in. The review article doesn't focus on the merits of the test piece but how they compare to MS Office. The second article is bluntly about switching yet also fails to realize that certain productivity tasks are better served by other products than MS Office. The author is not only locked into his productivity suite, but also in his mindspace. Sad.
