So what in your eyes would be the problem with my girlfriend being actually able to open
and use certain Excel documents, she needs for her studying? Or more generally
speaking: with millions of potential users being able to open their existing
documents/applications?
Oh yes, of course. It's because of Novell's contributions on this sector. Same as why
the Linux kernel, X.org, KDE, Gnome, Evolution and many others are doomed and best
avoided...
