Why would KDE users dare to do it and not KOffice users ? Both are aimed at non-tech users, and you need to run a Unix box to use KOffice anyway - so it's not "even dumber users" that will use KOffice. Again time will tell. > KWord is fantastic.

You can use KOffice under anything, including KDE-1.x I've been doing it several times myself. > But I have compiled the entire KOffice suite (I wanted to join the > developers , but tight schedules and illness have seen to it that I still > havent done that) and KWord is something that I liked at first sight , from the > very beginning a few months back , even when it lacked all the features it has now. > > vinny -- David Faure faure@kde.org - KDE developer david@mandrakesoft.com - Mandrake david.faure@cramersystems.com - Cramer Systems
