Thanks for this link. One thing the Linux users can do to help is to pressure
some major vendors to port their wares.
Unfortunate as it is, it may take ports of products such as Corel's WordPerfect
or Lutus 123 to accelerate broader acceptance for desktop use.
I most certainly agree that this just feeds the notion that OSS isn't 'real' (I
wonder how many CIOs even know if/how much OSS runs their enterprise).
So, if individuals would please consider asking Corel and Lotus to provide
their wares, they will eventually recognise a market that will expand based on
their decisions.
