better way of presenting office tools to users. &lt;a

think it would be hard for a volunteer open-source project to compete with one 
of the world&amp;#8217;s most affluent technology companies.&lt;/p&gt;
+&lt;p&gt;No, for once, I&amp;#8217;m not talking about &lt;a

&lt;a href=&quot;http://maps.google.co.uk/&quot;&gt;Google Maps&lt;/a&gt;. I 
was looking at a property search engine this evening and I spotted that as well 
as their regular Google-based maps, they also have an experimental 
OpenStreetMap based version. So which is better? You choose:&lt;/p&gt;
