hmmmm.. Just used Abiword to open a word document. Not bad actually. I think I'll leave it installed. It launched very quickly too. None of that 1 min to open biz.

Yeah, it opens word documents fast. But try inserting a table or just using it for any length of time.... Poof! There goes everything you typed.
Only viable alternative at the moment is Debian Abiword 2.6.4 under Qole's 'easy-debian' environment... launch times are not bad, about 30 secs to an empty doc window. Once launched, things are speedy...!

I too have tossed AbiWord. Great product on my notebook but not for the N800. I manage to scrape by with Notes and/or Google Apps
