Where do you see an comparision of NO to iWorks and MSO? I just 
lined up some "alternative" Office Suites that stand in competition 
or are befriended ones with us. Nothing more. Man, you can 
overinterpret everything if you want to.

The intention behind this sentence wasn't clear enought. I have no 
problem with NO. The problem is and ask Patrick himself, that 
without an existing and ongoing development of OOo X11 it would be 
much more harder for him as it currently is to keep up with the 
development of NO and without and existing 2.0 X11 for Mac OS X it 
will be even harder to get NO on top of the code  base of OOo 2.0 
if Patrick and Ed have to do the porting work of OOo X11.

I know and I appreciate this.

It was my fault that I wasn't clear enought. It wasn't my intention 
to do any FUD about NO with this sentence. 

I'm sick that everytime I mention NO or somebody else of the OOo 
Team does this sentence is to take with a pinch of salt.
