The closet city (pop 160k) to where I live is 12 miles away and I can think of 6 Wal-Marts within 20 miles of where I live. You can live comfortably on what Wal-Mart pays.

Cutting on open source like that! I think you're misinterpreting the data. In a closed source OS like Windows, only the manufacturer and selected partners can use all of the secret handshakes in the system and if you are writing something for that system and don't have permission to use all of the features, then you have to use a work around and Sun (the author of OpenOffice) is definitely on MS's shit list. Awhile back I installed OpenOffice on a Win 2k machine and it sucked so I promptly uninstalled it. However, one of the advantages of open source is that you can get the source and compile it tweaked for your specific hardware, and that is exactly what I did (I use Debian on my computer). It still sucks. The only reason I've left it installed is because it is the easiest thing to use for converting MS Word documents into a format that KOffice likes and to convert various Linux documents into MS Word format. I'm sure it works fine on the type of hardware that Sun sells (server and workstation systems). It is probably usable on a computer with a gig of ram and no other programs running.
