I don't understand your response. I was reading your post as saying
that Excel wouldn't run on Linux. I was just pointing out that it does
run on Linux just fine. I may have been misinterpreting your post
though.

glad of an opportunity to serve others by any invention of ours, and
this we should do freely and generously."

You'll be surprised to hear that I don't let my personal choices be
dictated by survey.
If I want Excel running on GNU/Linux, I can just shoot myself. I
am not paying for such crippled software. If that means that I
have to do with less sophisticated free software, so be it. It is
a price to pay, but at least it keeps me in control and power and
responsibility.
Survey says... BZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZT! Wrong. You would buy
Crossover Office and then install a perfectly legal, paid for copy
of Micro$oft Orifice. It runs fine on my system.
