Koffice definitely not there. . No matter, I download andlinux which is 
supposed to run under Windows, install it and... ooops it doesn't work. Lots 
of quick start icons and desktop shortcuts but none of them seem to do 
anything except one which opens a black and silent console/command line 
window. Great. Not going to waste time with that. Uninstall.
