<p style="margin: 0px;">I'm new here, but I'd like to say I'm 100% in agreement.  The default behavior should be inclusion, not exclusion.  Projects like this have to battle the "embrace, extend, extinguish" philosophy of commercial interests.</p>

<p style="margin: 0px;">I've lived in both the Linux and Windows worlds for years and see advantages/disadvantages to each.  Being as objective as I can, Microsoft Office still "rules the roost" feature-wise.  One of the best ways for LibreOffice to catch up and even surpass it is to get it on the Windows platform and draw from that HUGE developer pool.  I will gladly contribute to that effort any way I can.</p>
