Yes, but I think Andre's point is an app(Lyx)/format(LaTex) which Windoze
folks can relate to... I certainly see few in M$-land who would find the
idea of using LaTex appealing but Lyx would be the logical choice
for a better solution to writing documents (I use Lyx as well for this purpose,
as I don't have 29 hours in a day either to pick up LaTex :).
Getting students to do this sort of thing certainly seems to be in the realm
of possibilities, but can you imagine changing a whole corporate structure
over to something that Isn't a M$/.doc clone??
