Sure - that's cool. I was merely thinking the Sun developers might
have seen their goal as beiong to mimic MS office rather than create
something better.

Sadly that was partly my impression. But I'm glad Libre might be
different in that aspect :)

Sorry OOo/LibO is not a copy of MSOffice, this is a rough resume of the
OOo/LibO story:

1985: StarWriter for Amstrad CPC y Zilog Z80.

 1991: StarWriter 5.5 for DOS  and is also released StarDraw 1.0 and
StarBase  1.0.

1995: StarOffice 3.0 for Windows, OS/2, Mac

1996: StarOffice 3.1 for Windows, OS/2, Linux.

1999: StarOffice 5.2 the first SUN version

2000: OpenOffice.org

And if you put the program menu layout it has it roots at least from
WordPerfect (1980)  / WordStar (1978), if we put the history of MSOffice and
OOo/LibO and it's parts in a timeline they are pretty similar.
