I certainly hope the primary motive for FOSS such as LO is not a disdain for
MS. I personally don't care how much money MS makes. I hope the LO
developers are motivated by a desire to produce a great product that can be
used worldwide. Hatred usually doesn't provide a very effective motive for
productive action.

Hi Amit
I understand where you are coming from, and the good news is, in your
favour, that MS in both it's O/S and office suite are losing market share
in a big way. Here's an article from Ubuntu founder and my countryman
Mark Shuttelworth on his take on MS and Ubuntu. I like his statement that
the no.1 bug in Linux has now been fixed/closed, in that MS no longer
dominates majority market share.
But the numbers don't lie. I checked MS revenues and profits on
finance.yahoo.com and it doesn't look like MS is losing market share. MS
losing share might be an illusion.
