    I wonder why they aren't using Bing's online office suite? I mean, that lucrative deal they have with with Microsoft aught to be pulling it's own weight... Oh yea, Microsoft doesn't even support Linux when it comes to office.

    Perhaps Google should deny Ubuntu access to their free office suite. I mean, now that Canonical is making all that money I'm sure it can afford a crossover office licence for every download right?

    Abiword - [SUCKS]
    Tomboy - [SUCKS MICROSOFT MONKEY DICK]
    Google Docs - [BROWN]

    At least number 3 fits with the general Ubuntu theme.
