    Some stuff have only MS Office, some stuff only Openoffice.

    Also 95% all of Office Users only use 5 % of there features.

    There is nothing wrong with them. What is wrong is Microshaft doing their best to prevent interoperability between their own office suite and FOSS alternatives by creating their own document 'standards'. This makes it difficult for people who would like to use those FOSS alternatives when creating/editing documents that will also be viewed/edited in Microshaft Office, which is what most large organisations still use.

    Exactly

    It seems both suites have tons of features I never use... My normal usage pattern is to open/view/edit microsoft-format documents sent by others, and create texts and spreadsheets on LibreOffice.

    Compatibility problems. I personally use OpenOffice, just in case, but for office workers that is not an option.

    I have to disagree, I work in an office.

    How about staying on topic?

    Either way, I am still curious about who is backing Jolla. Part of me wants to believe that not all in the Nokia board were happy with the decision to sell and Jolla was the plan B.

    Jolla now has 2 years to prove and establish itself and I bet come 2016 we will see the "Nokia Jolla"

    Sure... but it is a sign of the topic gone out of focus when people start drifting in and out of the real issue, right?

    What more can you say about it, really?
    Since NMP went WP, I have to say I just lost all intrest in the topic.
    I only come back to this topic to try to correct people when somebody assets some silly notions of Nokia being sold to Microsoft, when it was all the time just about Devices&Services (ex-NMP).

    Nokia certainly isn't backing Jolla and has nothing to do with Jolla. Apart from the small investment that was part of Nokia's lay off progam given to sacked employees.

    Last month (source) Jolla was owned by::

    Steven Lau (20,9%) <- Hong Kong/Chinese tycoon who made his fortune by importing Nokia phones to the chinese in the 90's.
    Sami Pienmäki (17,3%)
    Stefano Mosconi (16,4%)
    Marc Dillon (16,4 %)
    Jolly Boat (2,6%) <- fund for non-founder Jolla employees
    Other investors all <3%

    Hopefully Nokia doens't get in any way involved with Jolla and screw it up.

    So who owns the missing 25%?
    What about Antii Saarnio? Does he also has a stake of 17.3%?
