I think OO.o is a good choice, it's got the best support behind it to keep
it competitive against ms office. I think that when someone is looking at
different distro's thinking 'which is best' OO.o has a big psychological
plus. I haven't checked up on KOffice but is it as compatible with ms office
as OO.o? yeah ms isn't such a great company but reality is they have a lot
of the market and it's important to stay compatible with them.

That's what I think, but whichever Office suite ends up in 013 is ok with
me, i can always install OO.o myself :P
