And a paragraph or so in to this article, in the text as though it was part of the article, is an advertisement for MS office... Sheesh.
Noticed that huh? :( Certainly a number of distros will be looking at which version of OOo they include, and perhaps change to this one.
I bet if MS Office was available for Linux, it would be popular. At least in certain camps. But as MS Office is so integrated into non-document parts of Windows, I doubt this will happen. Of course, they have managed to lift out enough to get it to port to Mac OS/X. But MS just can't compete on price. Still, I wonder if people who want to use MS Office on Linux would pay the same price for it there as they do on, say, Mac OS/X? But if MS Office were available for Linux, I think one big stumbling block to using Linux would be gone. And MS could never allow that to happen. Even if they do allow that for Mac OS/X. -- Roger Oberholtzer OPQ Systems / Ramböll RST Ramböll Sverige AB Krukmakargatan 21 P.O.
