Why, you ask. Well, it is precisely by the fact that I find Linux much
superior to MS Windows that I am trying to have MS Office working on
Linux. Paradoxical? Not really. At work, we must use MS applications
and I have to produce some work on MS Office. Then, to minimize the
number of times that I have to be on MS Windows, when working *at
home* (a frequent event), I am trying to have MS Office on Linux!
