   Reviewing 4.0.3 (May 9, 2013)

   Just started using 4.0.3.3 in Windows, and it seems faster than ever. Haven't tried the updated Linux or Mac versions yet, but expect they will also work well. This release drops Word95 support and Star Office binary support, from the release notes. Shouldn't be a problem for most folks, as Word97 and forward are all supported.

   VBA macros work in LibreOffice (I have a big spreadsheet with macros and custom functions). Some advanced object functionality does not, though.

   Reviewing 4.0.2 (Apr 4, 2013)

   @Aegis69 - the only reason most keep using MS Office is the use of VBA (or VB scripting. Those documents don't work in LibreOffice. If LibreOffice would support VBA then some more people would be inclined to use it. I personally know someone who has an Excel spreadsheet they will not part with for this very reason.

   Reviewing 4.0.2 RC2 (Mar 27, 2013)

   Being fair and realistic this is a pretty good software. Keeps getting better and faster than other free office suite versions
   As Microsoft is acting like a mean bully with their Office 2013 licensing fiasco I love this software.

   Compared to FreeOffice (a free office suite by German developer SoftMaker) it's pretty slow, needs to much resources, and destroys a lot of formats when you open files from Microsoft Office. FreeOffice is definitely better.
   ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
   I'm inclined to believe that something is wrong with your computer because my experience is that LibreOffice is blazing fast, does not destroy the formats you mention from MS Office and runs every bit as quickly and without error as does Free Office and MS Office.
