Notice that the website is named openoffice.com rather than openoffice.org. that little .com in place ..org! Obviously whoever obtained this URL is trolling for people who make the error of thinking that OpenOffice might be a .com rather than a ..org and then trying to sell them a free peice of software for $50. Unlike some of the other cases of selling OpenOffice.org, this is obvious and outright deception, and I think that it should be delt with as such! --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: discuss-unsubscribe(a)openoffice.org For additional commands, e-mail: discuss-help(a)openoffice.org

The "fool" paying for 602Office which is really based on =20 OpenOfifce.org and says so in every docs will get printed manual, =20 CDs, installation support via phone. All materials from this product =20 are available for download as well (http://www.602.cz/cz/produkty/=20 602office_2_1/dokumentace). I do not know if 602 is selling 602Office =20= in other countries though. But you linked to 602PC Suite which is not 602Office thus not based =20 on OpenOffice.org and as such is irrelevant here. Do you want to publicly appologise for your mistake? --=20 Pavel Jan=EDk --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: discuss-unsubscribe(a)openoffice.org For additional commands, e-mail: discuss-help(a)openoffice.org

When I remember right, we have our contributors in 602 team. Btw, as I have to speak sometimes about office software, I'd like to hear whats common and whats different in these two products - 602PC Suite and 602Office. As seen from company history these things seem to have historically common origin? Just to be informed... ain --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: discuss-unsubscribe(a)openoffice.org For additional commands, e-mail: discuss-help(a)openoffice.org
