And they aren't just using the BSA - they're also using technology: http://news.zdnet.co.uk/software/windows/0,39020396,39263342,00.htm One good answer to why.openoffice.org is "because the alternative is Microsoft"... In the past, I've discouraged active MS-bashing in our marketing - companies and politicians who do nothing but knock the opposition don't do themselves any favours in the long run. However, I think MS have made a huge gaffe in delaying the launch of MS-Office 2007 so they can make it look less like OOo, and we should not be slow to point this out. I've done two press interviews recently where the journalists have been very receptive to this message. why.openoffice.org/upgraders maybe John --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
