Coming off this at a different angle, having multiple office suites 
lessens the chance that one will completely dominate the others.  I 
would not want OpenOffice to succeed because KOffice went under nor the 
other way around. If both of them survive then you have choice, and that 
is the ultimate reason for any free market, not just let the best suite 
"win".
