Yes, I am annoyed at the fact that you seem to think that you can post really snide comments and not expecting anyone to get offended. But as you can see here, you are wrong.

I've never seen anyone be so indirect about calling someone else a smartass before.

Put him on your ignore list then.
There are people here (not mentioning names) that are totally antagonistic towards and intolerant of others most of the time (it's true of any forum really), but thankfully they're in the minority.

Despite some flaming that's going on between some, I'll post this message anyway. This is what I e-mailed MS:

Hi,
I'm currently using Microsoft Office 2000 on Ubuntu. I much prefer MS Word, Excel and PowerPoint over other existing applications. In my experience, MS Office is the fully professional program to use, and is perfectly suited for me, except that it is not directly available on linux. I would really be grateful if the upcoming release of Office was also available on linux.

Sincerely,

...

I am absolutely serious, and absolutely pragmatic. I will only use XP for LightRoom, otherwise, Ubuntu is my current flavour. I will not give up my Ubuntu as it's currently too good. But I will gladly give up Open Office. I have given Open Office a go, but it has frustrated me in too many little ways. MS Office works, it formats correctly, and delivers the end product exactly how I want it... except I need to go to the XP side to for clip art.

However, if Open Office v3 is a vast improvement over the old, then I'll stop sending polite requests to MS.
