A very early initial draft of this review was posted on OSNews many months ago. The final version just went live and is about three times as long, now including open source alternatives, as well as a review of the new online word processor solutions.

KDE4, and with it Koffice 2, has a design aim to be able to run under Windows. It is scheduled for release sometime in the October timeframe this year.

Considering that it is free, it should soon be able to run on Windows (and hence become cross-platform), and it's format is OASIS Opendocument Format, it really should be considered as one of the main contenders, and if not at least one of the second-tier contenders.

It certainly has a lot more power than Abiword.
PS: Having said all that, I think all things considered that the comparative review was a pretty fair effort anyway.
