Wow. Of course OpenOffice will run on my Mac, Linux, or Windows box... (Or Solaris or BSD, but does anyone still use them?)

Unfortunately, we use FreeBSD and Solaris (because ColdFusion isn't officially supported on FreeBSD and we have legacy code) on most of our servers, because Verio doesn't support Linux.

Don't even get me started (especially on Solaris) ... but yes, people still do use BSD and Solaris/SunOS.

(My desktop is WinXP.)

Actually, I kinda liked Solaris when I used it (10 years ago...)
