Personally, I think they gave the effort in exactly the right place. Furthering Linux in the workplace will build mindshare in the consumer market - Think about it. If you work on a Linux PC at your office, you might be more inclined to buy a Linux-based PC, since you've heard the name before and (hopefully) you like the way it works. And, generally speaking, it'll be cheaper.

And CodeWeavers put the best efforts in Office - Office 97 is still the mainstay of most companies. I have a copy of Office 97, and I still have no reason to upgrade to 2000 or XP. The newest release of Office on the Mac is very good (Office v.X) and a compelling reason to upgrade, but Microsoft just doesn't have a good enough reason for me on the PC. And as a Linux user, I don't even care about Outlook, since that's where all the bugs and security flaws are.
