Good.  As for "anti-MS" sentiment, the only consistent thing you will 
find is that our main competitor is MS Office.  Most users have and use 
OOo under Windows and are quite satisfied with it.  I think your 
expectation that "Wish I didn't have to" is misplaced.  If some kook 
takes umbrage at a pro-Windows comment, just ignore them and assume 
they had a bad day.
