Is your prejudice based on the fact that there is nothing in the open-source community that can even begin to match the robustness and ease of use of MS Office, and so as to simplify this question, I am referring to the latest offering; ie MS Office 10, or do you have some other specific complaint? Unlike your appraisal of the situation, I find that users use office suites, in this case MS Office because it offers the end user what they want. Specifically, an all-in-one application that integrates seamlessly into their home or work environment without the need of additional software. Microsoft's decision to offer MS Office in several flavors was a wise investment. The MS Office Home and Student 2010 can be purchased for $79 from many distributors. I know over a dozen users who have installed this very suite on their home PCs simple because the price+value exceeds anything available anywhere else. --=20 Jerry =E2=9C=8C jerry+fbsd@seibercom.net Disclaimer: off-list followups get on-list replies or ignored.
