I agree...
although as I don't know you personally I'll reserve judgement as
to whether you and Cameron Diaz have a future.

"Even worse, I can't imagine what's in it for Linux users"

Specifically, for some enterprise users it would be attractive. For
those not happy with OOov2beta running Office under Wine is
not always an acceptable alternative (support contracts).

I have no use for it personally, but I can think of a number of
clients that would jump at it (and MYOB).
