Yep. I couldn't have said that any better.

I think StorOffice is one of the most spectacular achivements in the
*ix industri for quite some time, now we finally have the tools thats
been missing for sooo long.

That its a Linux port is, well, understandable from thier POV, and
we can leverage that by our emulator. And belive me, I (and I know
others) will get out of our way to keep our amulator up to snuff on
this, its simply too important to be without...
