vincevincevince,

software development is only dirt cheap as long as you not require that software does actually work. Developing software that works properly is not cheap.

Browser-hosted software is also on par to Microsoft's products of 90s as far as usability and stability are concerned (that is, problematic to use, sometimes to the point I would fallback to pen and paper).

Star/Open Office is under development for what? ten years? and still not able to compete with MS office even in basic usability.
