Its sometimes recommended that you read threads that you are thinking of
replying to. Someone asked why anyone would want to run MS Office under
wine when OO exists. I told them the reason. So that would be me using
something else. If you read the thread before telling me not to
complain, you would realize I wasn't complaining. And if you seriously
think MS Office is any worse than OO from the standpoint of code
quality, I think perhaps you are delusional. OO and mozilla are both
apps that demonstrate that being open source doesn't make things good.
Have fun auditing an app so huge and so messy that bug reports are
ignored because nobody is able to understand the code that handles that.

I have no need to run it on such a machine, so its really not an issue
is it? I never said everyone should use it, nor did I say it was a good
solution. I simply said real people, in the real world, REFUSE to use
OO and mozilla because they are so slow. When people voluntarily
choose to use internet explorer instead of mozilla, its time to admit
there's something wrong with mozilla.

When you get openoffice running correctly and securely on PARISC-64, let
us know.
