Hello Paul,
First let me point out you're right.... the studie should be received with more technical responses than most/. kiddies wrote. But to my surprise you forgot to mention the reports posted by ziff davis, zdnet and other publishers about the studie conducted by mindcraft. Aside from the fact that MicroSoft funded the studie, the studie in itself was conducted poorly. As you can read at those sites.
Of course i can understand your critisism but any critic does more studie. There were in fact very well written responses with adequate technical foundation. Maybe you should consider to create a/. account and set your treshold to +2 or higher. Than those flames and uncontrolled laughter should not be able to reach you. (I know... i have set my treshold to +2 and i didn't have to read the crap you did).
Hope you did not receive to much hate mail by the way...
Most of us Linux users and true advocates will never use the language used at slashdot. We just shrug and write the responses that should be written... but unfortunatly they get flooded by the badmouthed kiddies.....
Succes at Wugnet.... if you are happy with Microsofts products just use them as you always did.. if not give Linux a try or BSD or OS/2 or BEos. That's what most of us are about.... the possibility to choose the OS we want... so why deprive you of yours?

MS Office for Linux
·
· Score: 1
Although WP or Star Office are better than MS Office, people seem to choose the latter because "everyone else does". So my bet is that MS Office for Linux wood be a hit in Corporate Office land...
My choice would be different though... i'm waiting for Koffice to enter into stable territory. For the moment i'm using StarOffice... but it's too sluggish and far too much MS looking to my liking

Thank you for reminding me to keep my treshold on +2

MS-Office, Star Office, Applix ware, Koffice, Wordperfect suite....
It means choice.... those who have a need for it will use MS-Office. Those without need can choose anything they like...
But i do admit that it is a scary thought.... MS entering the OSS market....
