I didn't, not because I think it's a bad idea, but because I don't believe it will have any impact. Microsoft doesn't count "customer demand" on the basis of petitions from its competitors. It counts customer demand from the very good, professional, knowledgeable set of corporate account managers who go round regularly listening to the kinds of things that their large customers are asking for, and generally respond. > I have 4 computers @ home, all have windows and OOo, 1 has MS > Office.

What is it that you do that needs a copy of MSO at home? The ONLY reasons that I have a copy of MS Office are 1: because we develop macros for clients for Excel. 2: because I do need to check Powerpoint compatability which is not as good as Excel/Word compatability in OOo.
