Hi :) I think it might be more meaningful if they included MS Office and other proprietary options including Android and iPad options such as "Author".
Many people claim that there are no alternatives to MS Office and that "even if there were" they would still have to use it. Many others claim to have tried all the alternatives but that nothing is as good as MS Office. It is good to have a place that consistently rubbishes such idiots. Those sort of people claim that because there is no alternative to MS Office they couldn't possible move away from Windows. So i really think this is a crucial category for LinuxQuestions.com.
