Anthony Garreffa's article extolls AOO 3.4 as their
+"Download of the Day", saying that Apache OpenOffice 3.4 is:
+</p>
+
+<blockquote>...the result of over twenty years'
+software engineering. Designed from the start as a single piece of software,
it
+has a consistency other products cannot match. A completely open development
+process means that anyone can report bugs, request new features, or enhance
the
+software.</blockquote>
