Forgive me, but I am a bit ignorant on this, could someone tell me when and how it came to pass that Oracle now has relationship with Open Office?
You mean other than the fact that they own Sun and the OOo team is mostly Sun engineers? Yeah that was a pretty difficult one to solve.

My nerd buddy who is into Linux had been bugging me to try OpenOffice for weeks. I installed it and it took nearly 3 hours to complete, while requiring 3 reboots in the process! Sure enough, it was as slow and buggy as the Java platform itself.
That's why Genuine Microsoft Office is my productivity suite of choice. It offers lightning-fast speed, ironclad stability, and the revolutionary new Ribbon interface which allow us to Just Get the Job Done(tm). No futzing with half-ass crappola on MY machine, ladies.

And that's exactly why iTunes has been such a success on Windows. It looks just like a native app...

OpenOrifice is still just a lame piece of software for people who are too cheap to buy quality Microsoft software.
I didn't know Microsoft was in that business..

Yes, "YOUR" right his "GRAMMER" was teh sux, also while we're at it when you say you could care less you imply that you do care about the issue, as you have the ability to care less than you currently do about it.

As a counterpoint, Fedora 11 will also have professionally packed packages and won't be run by a bunch of former Ubuntu noobs and script kiddies.

There isn't any rule to make it wrong. You can disagree with it, but that doesn't establish that it is wrong, just that you disagree with it.
Uhm.. yeah there is. This isn't kindergarten where every child is a treasure and there is no wrong so we don't hurt people's feelings. Saying you're going to buy something isn't the same as owning something.
You can't go to a car dealership, tell them you want to buy a car then slap on your "I heart <topic>" bumper stickers on it and take it to the beach until you fork over the money.
