Fuzzillogic: You'll be surprised, even some employees of RedHat use Windows 
Companies usually try not to enforce that too much, since some people are just more familiar with Word and it affects their productivity I guess.
Sun used to be strict and forced employees to use OpenOffice internally. No idea what Oracle does now for example.

Yeah it's just a press release, but really, what's driving a company which makes *only* Linux devices to use Word?.. Can't they even convince their own employees to use FLOSS software?.. Heck, LibreOffice runs great on Windows too.
Thats the only way that works and creates correct PDF files. M$ PDF exporter makes me wanna puke

I hope Dec. is a slight exaggeration, & that they can get it to the 1st markets in Nov, or even Oct.
For two reasons:
1. Migration may take more time than expected. After testing the latest SDK I have seen more issues than the old release.
2. The reason theyt swicth to wayland could be related to libhybris eg: they decided to go for some GFX HW that only supports Android drivers.
But that I am not trying to be negative. Just saying... However if Wayland/Qt slows don release I def not have a problem with that cause stick to Qt4.8 would harm alot more atleast on the app area...

But there are some tools that really are the killer application in office suites, be thy libre or legacy, and that's spreadsheets.
be it calc, exel, lotus, whatever, but that's the killer application on office tools. I couldn't go far without a sheet to type my numbers in

I hope switch to Wayland is accompanied with native drivers, and not with libhybris, and it's made because Wayland simply performs better.

The key thing that I take away is: they are likely to have a decent lifetime as a company, hence more devices will come, and support will exist for anything they produce. Obvious questions are quality, etc., but we'll have to see. The competition isn't very good at post-sale support, so it isn't like they have to match very high standards.

Jolla listened to the Community and overworked the device

So, Look at the revised version of the Jolla.. and to sum up all the news, fun and run here are a summary of all at once:
1) The #Bezel has indeed noticeable to all... more edge to edge design which fits the #beautiful #screen.
2) "Camera" you say?? Yes you are right, the rear camera is now centred along with the flash... woop woop.. giving a clear balanced imaging experience
3) The front camera has been repositioned slightly left to neatly position the earpiece. If you look closely the sensor and the front camera are is the same distance from the earpiece.. looks more geometrically consistent.
4) The power button is now on top right and the volume rocker below it, seamlessly integrated to the more compact body.
5) The #other #half (back cover) is now looks a real part of the front half with less distinct edges for better grip and reduces the thickness (I guess?).
6) You see the main microphone exactly on the centre of the body below the screen and the noise cancelling microphone has been moved from back cover to top - between the USB port and the embedded shining Jolla logo.
7) According to source ZDNet - "a spokesperson for the start up (Jolla) said that the typical size of a production batch for a mobile device vendor is 50,000 units.".. which gives us an assumption of number of units sold
8)After Jolla "received pre-orders from 136 countries" both consumers and "selected sales channels" have bought out the first batch, which it still expects to deliver by the end of the year.
9) Last but not the least, here is what Jolla CEO Tomi Pienimäki confirmed to ZDNet:
"For those, who missed the first opportunity, we are now doing our best to offer a SECOND CHANCE, a new batch of Jolla smartphones later in the autumn. I encourage everyone interested in Jolla to sign up at www.jolla.com and be the first to know about any new developments, such as the opening of the next pre-sales campaign."
