The only shortcoming of OO in the OO v MO debate is the fact that OO 
does not have any sort of database front end along the lines of MS

home, and used MS Office out of necessity during my day jobs, and I can 
say with confidence that OO word processing and spreadsheet functions 
are at least as good as MO's.
