There's allot more to it than just that. You are way over-simplifying the situation.:thumbsup:

[gloworange]My question is, why would I want to screw up an otherwise nice install of Linux by putting M$ products on it?[/gloworange]

Don't listen to that guy he doens't know what he's talking about Star Office is good but if your going to do somthing like that wait for Lindows.

Well KorpDeath, if some1 want to install Linux and have M$ Office too(because he/she has that for years), then Cross OverOffice is the solution.

Um..... sounds like LINDOWS!
