You may mean OpenOffice Math. That may be because anyone intending to create a document with serious math content will usually use LaTex, which makes those "paste the symbol and try to be wysiwyg and fail" toy typesetting applications sort of redundant.

Also, basing MS's alleged preeminence on an app that not one user in 500 will need and most will not even know about is sort of pitiful. And what in the world could you mean by anti-capitalist? Open Source activist organizations include IBM, Sun and Novell. How much more capitalist do you want? And the whole open source idea is based on private property.

I just gave one example. There are others, like Microsoft Office/OpenOffice in general, AIM/Gaim, 3dsmax, Bryce, etc/Povray.

By anti-capitalist, I was referring to those elements who condemn Bill Gates for the millions he's made, not open source companies that do profit.

I specifically did not say "The open source people also don't take into account the cost that goes into R/D for new, innovative software." I used "anti-capitalist" for a reason.
