I certainly agree that we do not need M$ Word, and I am going to start
using one or more of the 'free' office suites and try to learn Tex.
But, business will want to use a commercial product [no I don't know
why] (Isn't Open Office a commercial product??). So, will WINE
development focus on getting WordPerfect Office and/or Lotus Smart Suite
to run on WINE? Getting one of them 100% functional would be a major
milestone.
