Not good filters

I recently compared OO.o and Abiword and Abiwords .doc filter fails in comparison to OO.o's. Also Abiword totally fails to open large files most of the time. I don't see why they just don't use OO.o filters in Abiword since they are clearly more powerful.

That said Abiword makes for a wonderful rtf editor.
