Never addressed the point? Who started this thread?

Ralph, do you believe that Linux is competing with Microsoft? In particular, is Linux competing with Microsoft on the desktop? I don't. I'm hoping that the developers are not thinking about what Microsoft is doing but concentrating on making a solid, feature rich, Office product.

Do you believe that Microsoft Office is better for your use than anything else? If so, fine. Use it.

Do you want Linux to succeed on the desktop and do you believe that OpenOffice is a means to that end? I do. So far OpenOffice has met all but 1 of my office product needs.

Does OpenOffice currently met your needs? If not, what are you doing about it?
