Too bad for those companies, then :-)
Time will tell how many dare trying the experience.

I see what you mean, but I'm not sure this is true. 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.

That's not right. You can use KOffice under anything, including KDE-1.x
I've been doing it several times myself.
