"A simultaneous release of OpenOffice.org 2.0 was also scheduled, but it has been delayed in order to fix some critical bugs, according to ZDNet."

That seems so... right. A proper birthday celebration. ; )

I like that. In the best tradition of Free Software, OOo 2.0 will be released when it is ready, not according to predetermined schedule like in most commercial SW projects.

Reminds me of installing my first OOo beta 4 years ago. That was so unready it did not even attempt to print, which caused it not to stay long on my disk. OOo has come a long way since.
