I use OpenOffice on my Wintel and Linux boxes. They are 100% MS Word compatible as is Abiword. They are FREE! I would use it on my older Macs if there were a release. I think that M$ Office would die a quick death if people didn't simply steal it from work or school or the net or a buddy...Or if it didn't come bundled. People tend to use the stuff that is there and "free". Why should Joe Schmoe use Mozilla, Opera, or Navigator when there is something already there and adequate for most tasks? Why use Eudora, Mozilla, or Gravity when Outlook Express is already there for them? I hate Windows. I only use it for Wolfenstein, and Quicken. That's it. Day to day is Linux, and work is for teh Mac OS. I have every System release from .9x to X. Some were gifted to me, some were purchased, my copy of 7.6 is pirated from Usenet from many years back when it was new. All were acquired in many ways. I don't really feel guilty. Dunno why...
