What exactly is a SOP religion, coug? My purpose in life is NOT to defend APLX. However, there is a huge difference between what Linus Torvalis or whatever his name was developing an open operating system, and that system being seen as desirable by large corporations. They want an office suite which is superior to Microsoft's, and producing that requires more than some programmer noodling around. I also think there is a huge trend in corporate America right now, just waiting for something other than Microsoft to offer usable, reliable software. Open operating systems are the future.
