Linux will dominate the Desktop with a decent office program
like Open Office http://www.openoffice.org

Micoshaft's over priced competing bug ridden viri prone
office product is not up to it any more.

Users dependent on micoshaft resources are a threat to organisations
as they bring in virises, daily security threats, and are
responsible for most IT breakages within the office.

Time to phase out micoshaft users and its dependency
and focus on Linux like Ubuntu and Open Office.

Yes, looking at the headers of the OP, it's clear that a troll is here to
provoke again. FWIW, even Microsoft Office runs on Linux, thanks to WinE.
Those who think that Office is indispensable (which it ain't) can still use
it.

Yes, it's a waste of space troll alright & posting
through google probably. (I didn't see the OP)

Quite some time ago, in 2003, the state of Israel announced it was dumping
M$ Office in favour of OpenOffice in all it's government departments. It
began distributing Openoffice.org to its users in January 2004.
Following this, the city of Austin (Texas) adopted OOo software. Governments
in Germany, France, Brazil and China have also stated interest in going the
open source route too.

Seems they're all quite happy to use it, which makes the Wintrolls like
Quack (who say it's crap) look like the M$ shills they are.

I agree. Plus it will take lots of good games and other apps in many
categories. Free isn't nearly enough: the breadth and quality of the
software has to meet or beat Windows/commercial code to make people switch
(and stay switched).

Nope. Right now, it would take near-perfect app compatibility to get
most people to switch.

The breadth and quality (if not quantity) of OSS code is already about
90% there.

So, do you have any actual particular complaints, or are you simply a MS
shill?

If you mean it's 90% of the way towards 10% there, I agree.

I am extrememly amazed at just how much solid, good-looking, and
reliable functionality you can get simply by downloading unencumbered
OSS software.

It makes me realize just how long it has been since I last ran Wine.

Yeah, I guess you're right...

Linux will NEVER go far without a propietary, buggy, unreliable, and
easily exploitable office suite like Word and Excel and all them...

If you don't like OpenOffice.org, then buy a copy of Crossover Office and
run Microsoft Office and quit whining.
