I thought you might find this amusing:
While looking at the wine site, I found a link to
http://www.microsoft.com/presspass/trial/transcripts/jan99/01-28-am.htm

where it says:

       MR. WARDEN:  YOUR HONOR, I NOW WOULD LIKE TO PLACE
         19   BEFORE THE WITNESS AND OFFER WHAT HAS BEEN MARKED FOR
         20   IDENTIFICATION AS DEFENDANT'S EXHIBIT 2318.  THIS IS A
         21   DESCRIPTION OF A PRODUCT CALLED "KOFFICE" FROM KOFFICE'S
WEB      22   SITE, PRINTED ON THE 20TH OF THIS MONTH.  AND IT IS
         23   ACCOMPANIED BY SCREEN SHOTS OF THE VARIOUS COMPONENTS,
ALSO     24   PRINTED FROM THAT WEB SITE.


and

          1   TELL THE COURT WHAT THAT SCREEN SHOT IS?
          2   A.  THIS IS A SCREEN SHOT OF THEIR SPREADSHEET PROGRAM
          3   DEMONSTRATING THE VARIOUS CAPABILITIES OF THIS SPREADSHEET
          4   PROGRAM, AND WHAT THEY ARE POINTING OUT HERE IS THAT, IN
          5   ADDITION TO THE TRADITIONAL FUNCTIONS LIKE BEING ABLE TO
          6   ENTER FORMULAS INTO THE SPREADSHEET AND DO ADDITIONS OF
ROWS      7   AND COLUMNS AND THINGS LIKE THAT, THEY ALSO HAVE MORE
          8   ADVANCED FUNCTIONS, LIKE BEING ABLE TO AUTOMATICALLY
          9   GENERATE CHARTS.
         10             SO THIS IS QUITE A SOPHISTICATED SPREADSHEET.
         11             THE COURT:  WHAT IS THIS RUN ON?
         12             THE WITNESS:  THIS RUNS ON THE LINUX OPERATING
         13   SYSTEM, YOUR HONOR.
