a) The press releases page has a blurb and a link to a full press release
   that won't open in Konqueror, though it opens for me in Mozilla.

b) The "first phase" of support will be implemented through WINE...
   probably to guage demand before committing to a native Linux
   port.  Given their apparent enthusiastic incorporation of VBA in the
   product, I am concerned that this may not be a very wholehearted
   effort.
