We don't have _well-known_ alternate software. IMHO there is not enough
advertisments of such products. Most of people have MSWindows on home/office
compiters and use their products as well. Market share is not balanced here. And
if we wanna change situation with Microsoft, we must solve problem with
advertisment, teach people how to work with other similar products instead of
MS' ones and develop lacking/missing products as alternate replacement. This
needs a lot of money. None pay for it.

bye.
