Is there any real life functionality of MS Office that OpenOffice.org is not providing? My experience is that more than 90% of the users would be happy with Abiword+Gnumeric. But, as much as I hate to admit it, I'm aware that there are some applications that will not have free (as in free speech) replacements very soon. I'm thinking of Autocad and Photoshop[1] in particular. My only hope here is that as soon as GNU/Linux will have a big enough user-base (30%?) the respective companies will provide native GNU/Linux versions themselves. [1] no, Gimp is no Photoshop replacement for professional use Regards, Andrei -- Offtopic discussions among Debian users and developers: http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/d-community-offtopic
