Wonderful news! (They mentioned my name at the end of the post, so it must be due to my submission 
to Boing Boing yesterday morning. Thanks to Italo, Charles, Mike and the others who drove that PR 
process!)
Boing Boing has long been one of the world's most-widely read blogs, so there's no doubt it has 
helped spread our message far and wide.

Hi Ben, I think you should write Cory a short thanks message, as you have been mentioned as the source of the information (kudos). I think that we have done a good job so far, but this is only the first piece of the story. I will summarize the results during the week end, make PDFs of the articles and send a message to all the editors.

In ten years, I haven't seen the same coverage for any version of OOo, and this means that if you do it right and you do not overkill people at the end you hit a home run (and you get coverage).

PC World is a small hiccup. We must be prepared to see some more of them, because we must remember that Microsoft has a lot of money and the press needs that money. I will write to the editor explaining our point of view. In all these instances, we just need time and some patience (and there will always be journalists on the Microsoft side, which is perfectly acceptable).

Ciao, Italo
