That's certainly very cool (rumor has it that AbiWord was used as a
test app in the development of WINE). I'd however be a bit wary about
marketing it as a feature. Many linux users will be better off using
the autopackage distribution (at the price of
portable-as-in-carry-ness).

Downloads: 44,000
which is, well, wow.
