Our "Keep the Car" campaign encourages people to compare OOo with the
competition. Microsoft don't want to return the compliment:

"There can be no doubt that Microsoft is afraid of the open-source
movement. Last month, as part of the conditions for allowing us to include
Office 2007 on the cover disc, Microsoft Corp ... wouldn't allow us to put
any open-source software onto the same disc ... For instance, Microsoft
specifically named OpenOffice.org as a program we couldn't include on the
cover disc."

It's not very often that magazines are willing to go public on the
pressures applied by the master monopolist - they have too much
advertising revenue at stake.
