I think this is a Windows combo package - users get the Open Office Suite and Firefox browser for LESS than the cost of a Microsoft Office Suite!

Linspire, formerly called Lindows, positions its OOoFf package to directly compete with Microsoft Office.

Yeah, I think you're probably right -- or very close.

It's been a long time since I did any serious programming, but I think it wouldn't take much to write a better office suite than the MS Office Suite. It is a piece of klugy crap.

Corel Office Suite is an excellent utilitarian product.
