Martin,

You forgot to mention the significantly improved OpenOffice.org import/export. This is 
becoming more and more of a selling point as OpenOffice.org increases in popularity 
among linux/Windows users.

(incidentally, for those who care, the ooo conference was great, I'm still in Europe, 
hacking on wordperfect a bit, but mostly just enjoying Southern France. I'll have more 
stories to share when I get back to North America).

Cheers,

William Lachance
