The Office 12 XML (MOOX) format is what that Microsoft will use for the
upcoming Microsoft Office suite. I get the distinct feeling that its
marketing or lobbying team is trying to dilute or confuse the phrase
"open office" in the same way they tried with the initials "RMS"
Any ideas on how to prevent co-opting the phrase "open office" or even
the individual words?
With enough motivated people you can do anything

Basically: write regularly on your blog about OpenOffice.org, write
articles for various websites about OOo, create new websites around the
OOo ecosystem, put many links.

do you really want an <a href="http://www.openoffice.org";>Office open</a>?

In Google a word search for the individual words "open" and "office"
still brings up links about OOo, but a search for the reverse order
starts to bring up MS pages. Note that these are individual words and
not a phrase search. Yahoo exhibits a similar change, but not as
pronounced.
and a last hint: use your email signature wisely :p
