I'm new here, but I'd like to say I'm 100% in agreement. The default
behavior should be inclusion, not exclusion. Projects like this have to
battle the "embrace, extend, extinguish" philosophy of commercial
interests.
I've lived in both the Linux and Windows worlds for years and see
advantages/disadvantages to each. Being as objective as I can, Microsoft
Office still "rules the roost" feature-wise. One of the best ways for
LibreOffice to catch up and even surpass it is to get it on the Windows
platform and draw from that HUGE developer pool. I will gladly contribute
to that effort any way I can.
