Oracle support?
Given the on again, off again actions of Oracle in relation to Open Office, is there perhaps some 'assistance' from Oracle to denigrate the impressive performance and features of Open Office?
The open source movement is primarily a counter response to Microsoft, so there is no change of status there. Oracle on the other hand is playing both sides in trying to seem open source friendly while trying to pull the resourcing for Open Office and possibly make some revenue from the project. Without alienating the open source crowd they assist Microsoft in attacking their own product to assist in winning sympathy but having the option to pull the plug should they feel so inclined.
Conspiracy theorist I may be but the timing seems a little too coincidental.
