Hi :) I edited the history section a little bit because there was just a weird little reference to Go-oo just giving up when LibreOffice appeared but my recollection is that Go-oo was a major fork of OpenOffice and was widely used by pretty much all the main popular distros.  And it didn't just

Personally I don't think that LO has to worry about MSO on Linux. I have to say that since Windows has the market share as it has (I don't know the exact numbers but we can say that it's over 90%) and most GNU/Linux distributions come "preinstalled" with LO (or are currently replacing OOo with LO)
