Updated CNet Editors' Review: AOO 3.4.1: "Spectacular", 5 stars

Just noticing now, but CNet added a review of Apache OpenOffice 3.4.1
back on October 16th:

http://download.cnet.com/OpenOffice-org/3000-18483_4-10263109.html?tag=mncol;1

Overall it is a good review.  Main criticism is that we don't have an
integrated email client.

I'll add some quotes to our reviews page:
http://www.openoffice.org/product/reviews.html

Have we had any other reviews we should add to that page as well?

-Rob

I notice the branding is a little off, calling it "Apache
OpenOffice.org".  Do you have any contacts at CNet?  It would be good
to give them a gentle nudge.

CNET does call ODF an OpenOffice proprietary file format  :-(

They like that it is free beer, not much of an endorsement.
