What I miss in the discussion is TIME. No office user has time to deal with file formats. What counts today is speed.
Using kmail and receiving M$.doc files is just a painful experience. No way to sell this. So it's not just KOffice which suffers it's the acceptance of KDE-Desktop.
just my 2c
BTW I try to use as much as possible of KDE, but sometimes this compatibility question IS th e issue.

So, you can start the KM$WordView project. :-)

Maybe that isn't such a bad idea. It is only 3567104 Bytes to reverse engineer -- plus the DLLs if you want it to run on other than x86.

yes - I know - but I am not a coder as you propably know.

IMHO it's necessary to create awareness among those people capable of coding to focus on key-success-factors of KDE.
- KDEPIM, compatibility and connectivity issues
- KOFFICE, compatibility issues
- KHMTL, rendering issues

I think those working on this programs are well aware of these matters, but I do not see enough "recrutement" and publicity to attract new coders.

Reading the announcements gives the impression, that everything is fine.

Every announcement is the place to point to open jobs!
