Since we find ourselves moving closer to on topic discussion, I'll say I 
don't want Office on my Linux box.  The proper solution is to make M$ 
publish their file formats for Word, Excel, PP and Outlook.  That way 
you can deal with documents without putting $$$ in M$ pocket.

I didn't have to buy my radio from a specific company to listen
to FM, why doesn't that apply to the Internet (anymore...)?
