90% of what you said is true. The pathetic OS is only half-pathetic,
IMO. The HW support and multimedia capabilities aren't that bad, or at
least wouldn't be if they were stable. Those are the only reasons I
still run windoze... the USB support in Linux is incomplete, the video
files I have are choppy at best, and DVD support is still minimal...
I think fixing that would be more importand than porting yet another
office suite to Linux.
