I think it would take a huge marketing effort to convince the public 
that extremely cheap office software is pretty much as good as MS office 
for their needs. It would be easier and more profitable just to sell it 
for 20-odd quid and not bother with the marketing. My first thought was 
that it was a great pity they didn't go for StarOffice, since Sun 
contributes most of the development work for OOo.
