Hey - Just signed up to tell you about an OO site imposter (forcing you to sign up for ads and stuff). Not sure what all you can do, but here is the link (very convincing to the untrained eye): openoffice.org-suite.com.
Hope it helps

P.S. Thanks for OO - allows me to use/work on Microsoft documents w/o having to buy it O.o plus OO is well designed

Thanks for the tip.
However, what they're doing is entirely legal, so there's not much that anyone can do, and since this forum is simply volunteers, there's absolutely nothing we can do about it.
I do note that they've expanded their disclaimer; it's very clear now--assuming anyone should notice it and take the time to read it:

So it sounds like they're not even selling OOo, they're selling membership on their site. It's underhanded, but that's why people warn: "Buyer Beware!"Disclaimer: ...
