One thing you must realize is that everything is going online. We already do web-based email, online banking, online shopping, and now software is moving online. The benefits of having software online is as follows: 1) Prevents piracy. 2) You always have the lastest version without downloading and installing updates. 3) You don't have to wait for it to come out on CD. 4) You can access your files and the software from any computer in the world with an internet connection. Free online Office: www.thinkfree.com (definitely the best) docs.google.com www.zoho.com (Look for Yahoo to begin offering free online Office in the near future too!) Free online photo software: www.photoshop.com/express (new online in March 2008) Online bookmarks: www.bookkit.com (definitely the best) www.google.com/bookmarks/ www.sitejot.com bookmarks.yahoo.com www.onlinebookmarkmanager.com www.ikeepbookmarks.com Plus you have online photo storage, video storage, classifieds, job seeking sites, personals (find a mate), and so much more. You see by having more and more software online your computer's operating system will not need to be so elaborate. This will allow other companies to develop operating systems other them MS Windows that will simply allow our computers to "boot up" so we can get online. Then all of our software will be online for us to use instead of installed on the computer. This means the computer will not need to have a superfast processor, a lot of memory, or even a big hard drive. Here's where computers are going: You know how we have flash memory on USB flash drives and memory cards for our cameras, etc? Well what's going to happen is the hard drive is going to disappear. Windows (or another operating system) will be installed on a USB flash drive or actually installed in a memory module on the motherboard. Windows will not need to load from the hard drive into memory (since it's already in the memory module). You will push the power button on and the computer will turn on instantly like a light switch. Once it's on, you'll open your web browser and all your software will be online. Your files can be stored online or on your own personal flash drive. I know this because I've been in the computer field for 10 years. I have an Industrial and Systems Engineering degree from an ABET accredited college of engineering, A+ certification, Network+ cerfitication, and I'm a a Microsoft Certified Systems Engineer (9 certifications). Plus I program in HTML, JavaScript, Visual Basic, and C++. I've been building computers for 10 years too. So I keep up on all this daily.

No-one is forced to use OOo, and some of us, or anyhow at least I, would rather have OOo on our/my computer(s). As you say, there are sites for those who want them. So _why_ "should" OOo be different from how it is?? Lisi __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
