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
