This list has been remarkably free of trolling, I'd say. It's a little sad when posters get criticized not so much for their beliefs as for the ardency with which they hold them. Specifically, those who can see some good in Windows aren't trollers. We're all here because we see value in Linux, and in SuSE Linux in particular. That in no way conflicts with the idea that other Linux distributions and other operating systems also have some value. Personally, I despise Windows but still think it has some good ideas that Linux would do well to emulate. I run Windows when I need to run software that doesn't run under Linux (primarily Quicken, TurboTax, and Word2000). And I run Word2000 not because I like it (its misdesign and corruptive implementation get me gnashing my teeth and enriching my dentist) but because I have to be able to deal with and edit Word documents written by other people.

StarOffice just isn't up to the job if the Word document has any fancy stuff in it (bulleted lists in particular). Also, StarOffice isn't able to display documents with quotation marks in them properly, so it's hard to either visualize or edit such documents.
