Interesting.  The review, like most MSO reviews, seems to avoid addressing 
the issue of DRM.  Most avoid talk of XML and file formats as well.  I 
think those are two strong points of OOo.

With DRM, businesses lose control over their data and potentially allow a 
third party to monitor their computer-based activities.  You can argue 
about who the third parties are and their relationship to your business, 
but the fact is they are outsiders who can monitor the social network from 
the inside using DRM.  This monitoring includes, at the very least, a map 
over who's working and communicating with who.  Though it's being marketed 
as a control item, if your company doesn't want outsiders to get wind of 
what's going on, then DRM should be avoided.
