Another problem is all the forks. There was Star Office, then Open Office,
now Libre Office and who knows what the future holds.

For hobbyists/geeks/etc who take an interest in this stuff and like to
follow the evolution of software it's fine, but for people like my mom it
just confuses her. She has heard of Microsoft Office and its always called
"Microsoft Office". She likes it, is use to it and doesn't care about the
open source versions of office software.
