Amazingly dumb remark about Linux

[Octavian Rasnita]

I don't know. You may be right.
However, I am sure that 99.999% of all spreadsheets users (not only excel)
don't need complicated things, statistics, etc.

And BTW. If someone wants a program for statistics under Windows, there are
good program for this task, like SPSS, for example.
