SO isnt quite that bad on a big machine but the rest of it is very true.
Abiword is far more useful currently that SO for word processing. 

Our desktop really right now is

	Mailer:		balsa
	File Manager:	gmc
	Wordprocessor:	abiword
	Spreadsheet:	gnumeric
	Browser:	<none>

1.4 we might see Nautilus and maybe Evolution. I don't see us getting SO as
a Gnome app by then
