Re: The apps, not the enviroment

I tend now to favor using applications which can either be multiplatform, like Netscape, or StarOffice, or at least share their files with multiples applications.

In this extent I would use Konqueror on Windows, for two reasons: 1) I like it bettre 2) I could use it on more than one platform.

It is not irrational that MS understand this, Word files are already usable on Windows, and Apple machines, and maybe more.
It is very possible that eventually they will reconize Linux as a real fact of life, and port IE, MSOffice to Linux. For MS this is the lest of two evils, and they may have to give up their grandiose plans to dominate the all industry, and just make money like every one else.

I am betting on a Linux version of MSOffice.
Because not doing it would be stupid!
