Thursday here, a slow evening. Time for a new poll. This poll might require you to think a bit extra: it asks you to vote not for your favorite application, but which OSS application, in your opinion, has achieved high standards, performance, features and ease of use when compared to the best of breed of the closed source world. Read more for more explanation and voting.

I voted OO.o... Microsoft's main claim to fame seems to be MsOffice, and OO.o is the best OSS alternative. Mozilla is bloat, the vote asked for "user freindlyness" thus the SQL and GCC etc can't be considered. Apache is easy to use to me, but I have talked to many people that say its very hard to use, thus I didn't vote that either...
OpenOffice.org seems the only choice to me, even though its very slow starting. Its the tool that will put OSS over the edge, and its the only Office suite that is capable enough AND is multi-platform.
