Re: Releasing a horizontal product that gets this kind of a review from Mossberg, who everyone knows is honest (unlike much of the computer press)

I take issue with your statement. Mossberg represents the Wall Street Journal which has consistently backed Microsoft. After all, it's a newspaper that worships money.

Sun needs to realize that while Microsoft sometimes gets to go through five releases of nonworking garbage before it arrives at a viable product

Moreover, the source code of OpenOffice is being downloaded at 57,000 copies a week. People will start fixing things that they don't like. And many will be sharing their fixes. So StarOffice/OpenOffice will not require 5 releases to arrive at a "viable" product, assuming, that it's not viable now.
