Perhaps You're Missing the Point

It's worth noting that Evermore is obviously a Chinese company. They're developing a regional clone of MS Office. Their intended audience isn't concerned with Free Software, XML, or interoperability with Open Office. Instead, they'll want to have an office suite that is as Office-like as possible, with the best possible Asian language support.

Most users will be running it on Windows. I'm sure that one of the Chinese Linux distributions will work out the details of integration and will offer it as a package. The review didn't mention the display of Chinese characters, but anti-aliasing isn't always a good thing, particularly at lower resolutions (as on a laptop LCD).

As always, your mileage may vary.
