You still don't get it, do you? OO talks MS office formats with little
difficulty. The latest version handles the MS .docx format. It does
Word, Excel, Power-Point and Adobe pdf equally well. Linux thunderbird
does email with mime attachments. Evolution talks to MS Exchange
servers no problem. Firefox does everything that doesn't use MS's
proprietary ActiveX junk, and most places are getting away from that as
they realize people don't like being forced to use IE, whether you use
windows, apple or linux.
Yep, it's a shame linux can't talk to anything else in the world. I
guess that's why the majority of web sites world wide use lamp.
