De Ícaza compromised Suse, the most user-friendly KDE distribution and infected it with his Gnome cludge. I won't forgive that, Even though with KDE 4.10 we are almost back in the game. I think Linux would work *rock* the Desktop if its development would be handed over again to the German engineers and their gringo standards of quality, not to a Mexican toolkit demagogue.

I think any Distribution with KDE 4.10 seems find for me and it supports the features and productivity tools I need.

What I took very personal was how de Icaza wrecked the superior SuSe distribution which was the flagship of KDE. It was difficult to inflict more damage on KDE than the Novell acquisition and what Icaza has done with his toolkit fetish. Now KDE 4.10 is an absolutely impressive desktop but where would we be today if Suse had not been compromised by this Mexicoder. Caldera, Suse, Nokia. We see the picture! Suse has to be put into German hands again and become the driving force behind KDE. Stop the influence of all these incompetent US corporations and Mexican flame baits. Build organisational fire walls against poisonous coding. Libreoffice / The Document Foundation has shown the path to independence.

Companies hate it when their employees write their own macros and abuse Excel for BI.

The treath is as follow, throw 300 Million on LO development and Microsoft's cash cow is dead. A marketing campaign costs probably the same money. That shows the potential.

That was true 5 years ago but the situation is completely different now and Libreoffice got a massive coding productivity boost.

Webkit is a fork of khtml open source software, in other words KDE.

Employees like that but companies hate that. And features like MDX were already available in 2003. The problem with the Microsoft stack is that you never know when they would discontinue it.

Nice try. Ribbon is what legacy customers hate you for. Despite that Microsoft Office is still a pretty good product and while I use Libreoffice 4.0 because I like the old experience I would recommend it to average customers who are not used to interfaces.

Libreoffice 4.0 is an excellent product, so mass-migration is about to start.

Don't think so. It is highly unlikely that they put the fileformat as a field for experimentation. Cloud updates every quarterly year. That does not impress me.
