SuSE Linux will run Microsoft Office
PizzaFace writes "SuSE Linux is developing a desktop Linux distribution that will allow Windows users to continue using (some of) their Windows applications, including Microsoft Office. The SuSE Linux Office Desktop will be available for $129 in January, and will include Acronis OS Selector for disk partitioning during installation and Codeweavers CrossOver Office for Windows API emulation."
Yeah, foor legs good two legs bad!
Why not? It works for Slashdot trolls.
Btw, There's usually a 2 and a 3 in there.

The death of office productivity finally available for Linux users, too.
Will the paperclip work, too, or will we just have to put up with virus-prone macros, proprietary and bloated document formats, the crappy user-interface and memory-hogging sluggishness?
Oh, wait. Now Linux users can pay Microsoft money so they can continue fighting Linux wherever they can.
Go left, everyone just one crucifix.

Microsoft Word, Excel etc. are proprietary formats. Why would anyone who knows about these things use MS Office anyway?
Open Office gets better and better, and I think Suse ought to support the ideas behind open formats instead of being selfish and thinking in the short term.
SuSE is obviously the leader in Linux and all Open Source because they said so in the article. Debian has nothing. Or they're tooting their own horn a little hard maybe. I'm not sure they can lay claim to the title of international Open Source technology leader.
If not now, when?
