it's not a recipe for failure for asking. but it certainly becomes one when
you start abusing the people who come up with something close *as best as
they can*. you yourself have suggested that OO.o is a replacement for
MSOffice. and Evolution for MSOutlook.
is openoffice.org *EXACTLY* like MS Office?
is Evolution *EXACTLY* like Outlook?
i can come up with a set of criteria where OO.o would not be as EXACT a
replacement as you seem to think. now, does the person recommending OO.o
deserve a flogging? more to the point, you suggested that OO.o is a
replacement for MSOffice. should i start a flame fest with you?
