Louis, I just wanted to let you know that I have asked IDC to provide any relevant reports/data to the Openoffice group as a part fo their "community" involvement and contributions. I am still waiting to hear back from them. They had a big meeting with most of their key analysts in Boston this week so I would expect to hear something next week.
