whoa! What exactly does "in-time" mean? It costs alot of bucks to develop a product line for another OS. Remember not too long ago many thought MS would drop products for Mac, but Gates reassured them. Do you really think there is that much interest by _consumers_ to sit down at a unix box just to use word? How many copies of WordPerfect for Unix has corel/wordperfect sold? I realize that linux is hot stuff but the darn thing took me 3 days to install... can u ever make money by selling 1 million copies office a year (incl. development costs)... arent most unix nuts still in love with emacs?
