You're missing the boat... and flogging the wrong horse.

Here, download it and try it yourself:
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/try/?CTT=3
====
Office Professional 2010
Best-in-class tools to grow your business

What's included: Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, OneNote, Access, and
Publisher

Let us know if Project is included in that.

I've already pointed out that Project is a separate package & costs $$
above and beyond MSO. Now, if you find OpenProj lacking
(http://openproj.org/), contribute. Otherwise just buy (or look for)
something else.

LO is already bloated enough without adding yet another Microsoft
project (pun intended). Should LO also include Visio? How about Adobe
Acrobat, or Autocad? Wait... lets also include Google's Picasa, Chrome,
and Google Docs. How about adding Skype, and QGIS?

Point being is that this is an opensource project. Code is written by
volunteers & perhaps a few paid coders. If you feel MS Project is
worthwhile, or OpenProj should be integrated, have at it, or pay someone
to do the code. If not, then *buy* MS Project et al, or try
alternatives. Try here first:
