Not that weird.  Companies have capitalized on common misspellings in
order to attract eyeballs.  Just ask Yahoo or any major search engine.
What I'm wondering about is how exactly are they attracting the eyeballs
to purchase this on a large scale and yet keep those same eyeballs from
googling openoffice and finding out that it's available for free.  Not
that it's impossible (after all, if you can trick people into signing up
to get free computer viruses, anything is), but it would have to be
pretty high up their in the rankings in order to pull it off.
