Linspire, formerly called Lindows, positions its OOoFf package to directly compete with Microsoft Office._____________________________________________________
I think this is a Windows combo package ...
Yeah, I think you're probably right -- or very close.
It is a Linux package that is set up to dual boot with windows and can share data with windows I think.....
But it does not run under windows so there is no way you can call it a Windows package....
