I  can't  see  the  resemblance  to  GNOME.  Still,  GNOME's
hardware  requirements were not so steep either. There  will
be  too little to compel loyal customers to opt for an early
upgrade, which could elevate revenues. Microsoft knows this,
but  little can be done at this stage. Office poses  similar
problems,    if   not   worse.   And   the   recent   severe
vulnerabilities  (more latterly PowerPoint) will have people
look sideways, toward OOo migrations.
