Quite so, if performance had been an issue in the days of the early PCs no-one would be using anything vaguely related to a PC when Acorn, Amiga and probably just about every other microcomputer could outperform a PC with a lot less in the way of hardware resources and for less money. What matters is confidence and confidence grows with take up and consensus. It can grow from grass roots as has happened with open source or from adoption by big companies and governments as happened with the IBM PC and clones and is beginning to happen with open source too now. Technical issues at the margins make little difference to Joe Sixpack. He will just follow the herd. The main gains for Open Source are still in the informed early adopter phase and until that take up is exhausted, its probably a waste of time trying to get uninformed individuals to switch. Possibly even counter-productive because if anything goes wrong they will blame the technology and be put off trying again even when the technology is ready and they are ready for it. Social behaviour takes time to change and take up of technology is more a social issue than a technological one once the core applications are in place. Ok this is more marketing strategy :-) Ian -- www.theINGOTS.org www.schoolforge.org.uk www.opendocumentfellowship.org - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Thomas, He was not being serious. LInux distros are full operating systems, like Windows. There are plenty of free Linux distros (which is short for distributions) online. Some can be run off a CD - but most require you to install them onto your hard drive. You would lose all the data on your computer. None of your current programs would work on it - and you'd have to learn how to use Linux to get it to work. It is not a program that runs on Windows - it's its own operating system.

One application to rule them all! You are absolutely right. I've been so blind. In fact, instead of adding to OpenOffice.org - let's bust it up. Let's make it were you have to download Writer, then Calc, then Impress, then Draw, then Math, the Base Of course, since most of the code is shared, you'd be downloading the same 30 - 40 MB of code each time - but, at least you'd have a choice! But why stop there? Maybe I just want Writer, but I don't want spell check - spell check should be it's own download. That way people have more of a choice. We should make the GUI it's own download. And the word count. And the indent button. And mail merge. I don't use mail merge. Why should I be forced to download something I am not going to use? It's crazy. We should have a line-item veto. We should be able to CHOOSE which lines of code to download and which lines not to. Oh, you might think I could do that by just downloading the source and stripping out the lines I don't want. But that's not true. Because I'd have to download the *whole* source code before I could do that. Heck, why stop at lines? I should be able to only download the 0s of the binary if I wanted. Or every third 1. ... In case you missed it - that is called sarcasm. Bundling isn't evil. It makes sense. I have OpenOffice.org *and* AbiWord. That's a choice. Sometimes, it's faster to use AbiWord for quick editing, because it loads a lot faster and has a cleaner interface. It also has less features, so when I want to do some in depth editing, I fire up Writer. I have a choice. OpenOffice.org including a word processor in no way stopped me from being able to download, install, or use AbiWord. Having OpenOffice.org + Firefox wouldn't stop people from using Internet Explorer, or Opera, or Netscape, or Safari, or Konqueror. Adding features doesn't take away choice. How can any sane person not see that? By adding an OpenOffice.org Mail or OpenOffice.org Browser - we are *ADDING TO* the choices people can make. Right now, I can't choose OpenOffice.org Mail - because it doesn't exist. By not having OOo Mail - a choice is taken away.

As much as I like your idea, and have suggested it myself in the past, it will never happen. For a number of reasons. Mozilla Corp owns Firefox, Sun basically owns OpenOffice.org, Firefox is XUL, OpenOffice.org has it's own set of libraries. Mozilla is more crossplatform than OpenOffice.org, (it runs on more OSes natively than OOo - OOo does not run natively on Mac OS X, for example, but Firefox does). And then there are more political type reasons, people fought tooth and nail to keep a database being integrated into OOo - they spit bullets when someone says we should add an email client. Adding a browser, et. al. would start a war that would make the Middle East look peaceful. That's not to say you can't bundle them. Linspire did not long ago on it's OOoFf! CD. TheOpenCD offers both. Many websites link to both. You can make your own CD bundle with whatever Open Source / Free Software apps you'd like. But the two will never be one project. Which sucks. -- - Chad Smith http://www.gimpshop.net/ http://www.whatisopenoffice.org/ http://www.chadwsmith.com/

Instead of rolling your eyes, go ahead and show us all up.

Actually there already are versions of OO.o with everything included such as email/IM client etc, except they are usually called Linux distros. The extent of the integration is a different matter, but OO.o is already better off than say Word which will happily spindle fold and mutilate any excel spreadsheet you manage to open. - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
