I use SO for my personal stuff and I use the html editor. I believe it is good
enough as is for general home use, and probably for most general business use.
My wife does occasionally have a problem with documents going between SO and M$
Office 97. SO always opens them fine, but sometimes the saved version from SO
will not open in M$Office. So far that hasn't caused any big problems, since we
have pc's with both OS's running, though Linux is our primary OS. Winblows is
primarily kept for network gaming for the kids.
