If someone wants to get away from M$ Corp bugware then we should be doing everything to assist NOT tell them not to bother and stay with using bugware from M$ Corp .
How do you think that's going to help Linux, or the user? The user loads Linux, then some free software to share his/her MS software files and discovers the Excel files don't display correctly in OpenOffice. They discover that the Linux office software won't load their MS Word files. And what is the conclusion the user gets? That linux and it's software are all buggy, and crap. Microsoft is actively stopping other software from being able to continually share their files, we all know that. So any software on Linux, is never going to be able to share MS files or use them the same way they were intended on a MS platform. That's just a plain fact. So, trying to "lure" a user away from the "buggysoft" of M$ software, over to Linux where they'll see everything fail isn't helping anyone. And certainly not helping Linux or companies making their buisness on Linux. Örn
