I don't think OpenOffice is a threat, especially considering what Oracle does (virtually everything to kill it).


I've noticed exactly 3 things since Ubuntu's Open Office updated to Oracle's version:

* It's about half as fast as it used to be.

* "Oracle" logo on the splash screen (which remains on the screen for twice as long)

* A message box that says "General error" any time I open a document. I kid you not: http://www.superjoesoftware.com/temp/general-error.png. Note that after I hit OK the document opens fine.
