Aren't there any other problems to tackle on Xubuntu first than bringing
Microsoft spy software to it?
Especially since there are excellent alternatives available on Linux.
A switch between OpenDoc and MSDoc formats all the time, because I have
to for third parties, but I encounter problems very rarely.
LibreOffice's learning curve is very shallow, especially if people have
pre-ribbon experience which still seems to be the case for many public
adminstrations which excel in skipping upgrades.

basically it saves users some clicks and containing MS Office Online

Hello there. I just read the article here
<cid:[email protected]> about MS Office Online native
wrapper on some of linux distributions. Is there any possibility for
Xubuntu developers to add this to priority list as Xubuntu future
addition feature? I think this can be a plus factor for people to switch
to linux.
you linked to "about:blank", so nobody can see what the wrapper can do.
I am not in favor of such an addition for Xubuntu.
Linux, for good or ill, has been about variety and choice. What I like
about switching to Linux is that it forces changes in how I did things
previously.
And, I think LibreOffice is an excellent and worthy replacement for MS Word.
I disagree with those who want to replicate the start menu from Windows
or the Dock from MacOS as the entire focus of a distribution (such as
elementary OS seeks to replicate the Mac experience).
For instance, Xubuntu gives me the options to create a single panel that
mirrors a MacOS dock (a single column of apps and notifications that I
use most often) but which also includes the ability to have every window
with its own icon and also a good start menu for housing all installed
apps (the whisker menu) as well as various launchers for grouping apps
by tasks.
In this way, I get what I like from the dock and the start menu in a way
that best meets my own needs for as much window real estate as possible.
