One of the main issues is defining what Open Source Software (OSS) is and what users can expect to find in software called open source. In reaction to many offerings that didn't work or at least didn't work as expected, the Open Source Initiative was created. Follow this link to the Open Source Org page. Next up will be what the Initiative is doing to standardize OSS.

you are right! Some tools are rather specfic in nature and use. I think we are used to how Microsoft Office works thar our expectations is for open source to work like Office does which in some cases it does not. The colloboration piece is the nice feature that Microsoft has been trying to copy from the open source people. I have not tried the latest verison yet. May be we can try it it Eric?
