    "...but mostly it's meant to test the feasibility of future GNU/Linux products"

    Ah, Richard Stallman must be having wet dreams about the author of this review already.

    Plus, everyone running Windows has outlook express for "free" as well as web mail, so lack of an email client in the office suite isn't that big of a deal.

    I would completely disagree. The fact that Windows comes with Outlook Express, and that the user will probably wind up using it if another one isn't installed for him, is exactly what makes it a big deal. OE has to be the one piece of... software responsible for the most trouble in the history of computing.

    Sure a WYSIWYG is good for short memos and shit. That's why "write" exists. But for manuals, books, papers and reports LaTeX is always the best choice.

    Whatever. WTF are you writing that can't be done in Word? LaTeX looks like some complicated programming language.. hardly the thing the average person is going to use to write a paper or even a book unless you're some science nerd.

    Looking at the screenshots, I was wondering how they could make such a pathetically butt-ugly application. Then I realized it was a Linux screenshot! Then I looked at the Windows one and it was okay. The WP51 mode looks cool too, is help still on F3-F3? :-)
