Now is there some question about OpenOffice.org is this discussion ?
The main issue is simply that there is a lot of evidence about that can
be used in the promotion of OpenOffice.org. It has to be used carefully
but it is a potential marketing advantage and we have precious few of
those. Countering a $360m a year propaganda machine for MSO is not that
simple with no marketing budget. Its not a matter of despising anyone
and use of evidence in such a way so as not to appear to be particularly
emotive is often the best way to do things. However, its difficult to
see how active appeasement of Microsoft actually does anything to help
OOo. On balance its largely down to confidence. MS knows this. Undermine
confidence in the opposition, boost confidence in your product. Let's
just do it, but do it with apparent objectivity ;-).
