It's cool if Linux wants to chase the big corporate dollars over the 
home consumer or small business. The operating system won't expand 
beyond its IT-intensive niche and into the general (and extremely 
lucrative) desktop market, but that's cool. Everyone has to make a decision.

I do agree with the thought that locking yourself into a particular file 
format (such as Microsoft Word)  could spell disaster  in the far 
distant future.
