Gabe, I work for Caldera and if you've read anything about Caldera, you'll know that it was formed as a Linux distribution company by Bryan Sparks and Ransom Love - both of whom were preaching Linux to Novell and left because they knew Linux and open source would change the future of computing. To see a list of some of Caldera's contributions to the open source community, go to http://www.caldera.com/partners/odn/contrib.html. If it weren't for Caldera, you wouldn't be using Netscape on Linux or using RPMs for package management. OpenLinux is a step above anything else you'll find out there: http://www.calderasystems.com/company/awards.html. You made a valid point about the ppt, doc, and qt files - in fact, when I found out, I sent an e-mail with a link to your comments to the product manager and he said "I will use this going forward when we do things." Thanks for your interest in Caldera. Later, Ryan Smith webmaster at caldera btw - I'm from Minnesota and actually went to the U of M for a term in HS - go Gophers!
