well, they may be moving that way, but it's not only not there yet, I don't see where there's any competitive advantage to being a distro if everyone's selling the same thing(which won't ever happen) and vendors I don't think can be badgered enough to write to ONLY the LSB.

While SuSe has a modified version of OO, there's no technical reason that the version from OpenOffice.org won't run. Also, most Linux distros are moving to LSB, so that all the relevant files etc., will be in the same place.
Sorry, what is "LSB" please??

It's a standard method for building Linux systems, so that apps etc., don't need to be written in different verions, for different distros.
