The other part of it is about OpenOffice.org  (loud yawns from audience).  

http://www.openoffice.org/

"  On October 28th. 2009, the one hundred millionth person clicked on the 
Download OpenOffice.org button since version 3.0 of the software was announced 
just over one year ago.  "

That's what I call competition :)  I remember being heckled on several LUG 
lists some years ago in several countries for suggesting that there was a 
worthwhile alternative to MS Orifice.  Not so now.  I've been using 
OpenOffice.org for ten years now on an SuSE/Debian and more recently an Ubuntu 
desktop.  A lot of that was published in magazines.  No one ever had a problem 
reading or publishing anything that I sent to them.
