damn guys, thats fuckin me off! AFAIK this bug was marked as a "ReleaseCriteriaBug". And instead of fixing it, you fix some...erhm...programs that no one uses (Office) and for this program it gives three OpenSource variants (OpenOffice, StarOffice, OxygenOffice)... For Steam there is no linux variant...and you can't run Steam in a virtual machine such as office...something is going really wrong in your brains guys...
It was nominated, but that doesn't mean it will necessarily be fixed. Unless you have some information to contribute to this bug, the skills necessary to fix it yourself, or the resources to hire someone to fix it, then posting here is doing no good other than distracting developers from fixing bugs!
Office is used by a large number of businesses, many of which pay for Codeweavers to support it and drive Wine development. If Wine did not support Office, or if no one used it, Wine would not be near what it is today.
So please, unless you're contributing *useful* information to the discussion or a patch, take the complaining elsewhere. You could, for instance, petition Steam to release a native Linux client...
