I certainly hope the primary motive for FOSS such as LO is not a disdain for 
MS. I personally don't care how much money MS makes. I hope the LO 
developers are motivated by a desire to produce a great product that can be 
used worldwide. Hatred usually doesn't provide a very effective motive for 
productive action.

Hi Amit
I understand where you are coming from, and the good news is, in your 
favour, that MS in both it's O/S and office suite are losing market share 
in a big way. Here's an article from Ubuntu founder and my countryman 
Mark Shuttelworth on his take on MS and Ubuntu. I like his statement that 
the no.1 bug in Linux has now been fixed/closed, in that MS no longer 
dominates majority market share.
But the numbers don't lie. I checked MS revenues and profits on 
finance.yahoo.com and it doesn't look like MS is losing market share. MS 
losing share might be an illusion.
