Sorry, but the ability to read a document or relay it back is different then doing collaborative work on some very large an complex documents. When I talk about complex documents I am talking about documents with embedded graphics, tables, Visio diagrams, VB macros, etc. Anyone that tells me that StarOffice does a very good job with Word/Excell 97 documents didn't use it in the above mentioned scenarios. Sorry.
It seems to me you are saying Linux is not ready for 1) complex electronic publishing scenarios, and 2) it's not ready to interoperate with MS products. It takes a big stretch of the imagination to then say that it is flat out not ready for the desktop. If normal people are using Linux on the desktop then is it not ready for the desktop? I mean, come one, one could easily say that Windows isn't ready for the internet because of it's lack of or poor implementation of common utilities but does that mean nobody is using Windows to access the internet? No. Also, I've worked for small, medium, large, and very large companies in a couple of different industries and at none of them were the documents as complex as you mention above (I'm not saying that they aren't elswhere).
