Re: What I would like to see

Yes, but in those days I used a wordprocessor called Olympia. :-)
I still don't get it (or perhaps you don't). If somebody is stupid and sends me a *.doc file which is a finished document, I don't need to open it in my wordprocessor. I simply look at it with: "Microsoft Word Viewer 97". That runs on WINE.
NOTE: If WINE would please get their PostScript printing fixed (it is a mess similar to KWord), I could import the text formated EXACTLY into KWord if I wanted to mark it up.

Well, Wine isn't much use if you don't use an x86 machine.

I don't know (for sure) if you can run either WINE or MS Office on an Alpha, so I will say that with the single exception of the Mac that MicroSoft Office isn't much use on non-x86 systems either.

No, Wine only works on x86. But what I meant was that KOffice is useable on every processor supported by a decent *nix type OS, unlike Wine (or like you say, unlike MS Office)
