This is a bit off-topic, but DaVince asked why one would need OOo in wine and I wanted to add to the discussion...<br><br>An example I'm familiar with.... <br><br>OOo on wine *could* be needed when running programs such as Lotus Notes (legacy versions) or a similar app because of file associations in the Windows environment not coming through to Linux. (i.e. Click an Attachment in Notes, what opens it?)<br>
<br>Of course, IBM now makes native verisons of Lotus Notes in RPM and DEB format, but most companies are still stuck on legacy versions.<br><br>Details:<br><br><a href="http://www.pcurtis.com/ubuntu.htm#winenative">http://www.pcurtis.com/ubuntu.htm#winenative</a><br>

</div>If OOfice messes up something (such as not using a text/binary flag), then different library implementations which it relies on could hit it. For instance, if one writes a binary file without setting the ios::binary flag, different outcomes may happen, since nothing in the specification dictates that, without that flag, the stream must remain unchanged.<br>
<br>
That said, I also don't think that moving OOffice into wine would help, but I think I should make it clear that it is possible to screw up something and have it produce different outputs on different platforms.<br>
