on that note, i wonder just how much Microsoft earns from all things government?

Does anyone know if they are required to split out gov. buyers from com? is this public info?

anyway, i think this is okay, as long as the kids don't suffer too much on the UI. i mean, i don't like staroffice at all, that whole "take over the screen cuz unix desktops suck" idea...kde and gnome have pretty much become the future of the unix desktop, it's just a matter of time.

hopefully SO will improve after they break all the apps out, but we all know what happened to the "new improved netscape"...
