I just thought I'd throw in some positive feedback. Ive been keeping an eye on abiword for some time, and although openoffice has pretty much reached fruition, I still use abiword more often as it is much faster, and generally works for just viewing docs and rtfs that I get sent. When I got openoffice I thought i'd never use abiword again, but in reality I still use abiword as my first choice for most applications.
