Now we are two (point one)

I’ve just been doing some fine tuning to the Press Release for OpenOffice.org version 2.1. There’s the usual batch of goodies, but I think the thing I am most proud of is that this is the third release of OpenOffice.org this year.
Commercial software producers have to persuade users to spend good money on upgrades. For this reason, they have to wait until they have a lot of new features, in the hope they it will be a compelling reason for users to upgrade. This “feature overload” also means there is a temptation to spend more time developing features than testing them 
Open-source software doesn’t suffer from this problem. Users are free (as in “free to choose” and “free of charge”) to upgrade or not. So, more frequent upgrades; more freedom of choice; higher quality software. Sounds good to me.

I happen to love oOo, so good news on the update.
Another problem I am having is that the fold page menu plug-in for WordPress doesn’t appear to work with a number of the templates … I am wondering if there is a trigger I am missing. Some templates no issues, works great, others not so much. Hope you can help with that. I cannot find contact info, so dropping this comment.
