What a strange and unsupported statement. I don't seem to recall having
heard that one before. Is there some citation for this amazing
revelation? Or is it from direct divine inspiration?

Which explains why it's available on Windows, Solaris, MacOS X, and
FreeBSD, as well as Linux. (I am a little surprised that there's an
official port for PPC Linux.)

There certainly are a lot of different Linux ports ongoing, and even
OS/2.

Indeed, considering all the Sun contribution to its development, I
suspect it might be closer to accurate to say that OpenOffice was
intended for Solaris. That's certainly where I first used it.

Sun acquired the original developers, and ran from there. I think they
started out writing it for Windows; don't recall whether they'd done a
port to Solaris before Sun stepped in.

Spinning off OpenOffice.org was one of Sun's better ideas, imo.

I wouldn't really say that either, but I suspect it is more defensible than saying
that it was "intended for Linux."

I use Ooo to learn Linux.

*blink* ??

Um. Ah. Ok. Perhaps I could use it to learn, oh, brain surgery or
something. That would make about as much sense. :-)
