There is a particularly annoying Google advert which pops up regularly
if you visit sites with OOo content - I'm sure you've seen it:
OpenOffice slow, bloated?
Abiword missing all the nice features?
I find this offensive, as it helps perpetuate the myth about OOo
performance. Now, I guess every time someone clicks on it, then the
advertiser has to pay some dollars to Google, and when the advertiser's
credit is exhausted, Google pulls the advert.
Just a thought

Really is our fault for not doing much 'think out of the box' like the
folks from abiword. For all our google links we could have had some
campaigns up on Google ads.
I was listening to Marcel Gagne speech at Desktop Linux Summit, and the
message was clear. Stop being apologetical about free software. Steve jobs
is not being apologetical because Macs wont play games. I would like to
see someting like export as PDF without Office. Best free office suite.
I dont really find it insulting/offensive, they are right to a degree.
However the lack of pressensce from our part is what I kind of find
upseting. Is good that you put this issue on the table John.
