I stand by my statement.  You make a slight mistake in your above statement by
saying "... office suite AVAILABLE".  KOffice is not "available" at all.

I seem to be misunderstood, though.  I am NOT saying that KOffice is not
advanced or that it is not usable.  It is incredibly advanced and I think it
is *almost* usable enough to write a book!

The reason KOffice is functional vaporware is because only KDE hackers can
use it.  Think about what "vaporware" means.  It refers to software that is
promised but never delivered.

We have NEVER delivered KOffice.  It exists only in snapshots and CVS.  Joe
User will never use either method to get the software.  That means that for
Joe User, KOffice *is* vaporware -- it is promised but he cannot use it.
