It's hard to sell an alternative, when that alternative barfs on a simple thing like Floppy-Use. The "big" stuff is in place already; M$ cpmpatibilitynin WP, Spread-sheets, mail... etc. is already far better than M$. It is the small crap, liike Floppy drive use, which makes the "conversion" a problem! The open-source community have to get their act together, and realize that main-stream users will gladly switch to FreeBsd/Linux when and ONLY when all the basics are working. For a geek, these "problems" are trivial; for a WindowZ idiot, these thjings are what kills a sale, and maintains Wind0WZ dominance in user-space.
