Is it just me or does anyone else think that with current technology and whatnot, someone could start from scratch and come up with a far far superior office suite than the 15 (at least?) year old monster that is open office? It just seems to me that to beat Office, instead of copying it, 2 years behind, maybe doing something innovative and better would be more successful? I mean, OO.org will surely "catch" office when they stagnate like say, IE did, but what about a preemptive innovation (e.g. what Firefox did to IE)?
