Happy Birthday OO!

OpenOffice is four years old today! Quite an impressive toddler. I mean to say, how many tots can drive an 800-lb gorilla wild with impotent rage?

You think I jest? Well, have a look at the marketing brief Microsoft wrote for its partners to assist them in dealing with customers who were thinking of defecting to Open Office. This interesting little hymn sheet used to be on the web, but seems to have disappeared. Just as well I archived a copy — in the public interest, naturally.
