OStatic Buffer Overflow.....

Many readers of our review of Go-oo concluded that it is part of a Microsoft (via Novell) conspiracy. My take is that Go-oo is just one of many variants of OpenOffice, and the Microsoft Office compatibility features in Go-oo can save OpenOffice users in a jam. It is, after all, a free alternative to MS Office. Consider Matt Asay's take here.....

Don't forget that what Novell puts in its forks not only promotes the Microsoft API but is also patents-encumbered. Moreover, Microsoft can change the OSP at any time, the company approaches debt ( http://blogs.wsj.com/deals/2008/09/22/microsoft-to-buy-back-40-billion-o... ) and Gates seems to be entering he patent-trolling business with his old buddy, Nathan.

Someone mentions conspiracy in the same breath as Novell and Microsoft and Paranoid Roy shows up. Surprise, surprise.
