You might want to take a look at the graphing capabilities of the OO spreadsheet. It definitely does bar graphs. Often I think the main problem is "Yet another thing to learn." For instance, you suggested that I setup Wndows under VMware. Now that sounds like a good idea. But I have to spend (I am guessing here) maybe a few days learning VMware. That is probably usefull ... but I can point at at least a dozen other things that I could spend a few days learning that have value to me. So it becomes a matter of priorities.
