OpenOffice To Feature in Next Pack Update?
From the Battelle Searchblog:
I spoke to Marissa Mayer about Pack, and she had some fun stuff to say about it. I noticed no version of Open Office in the Pack, and she reminded me this is just the first version of the Pack, and since it updates itself automatically, why, there might be Open Office in an update shortly. They are in active discussions, I was told.
A bit further in the article, Battelle asks :

This might get BIG. I read John’s article a few hours ago and the extract from his book, but due to hastiness skipped this last part of his article. Just now I was talking to my future boss, and I saw this OpenOffice talk Battelle had with Marissa Mayer. Pretty interesting stuff, indeed. Thanks for sending me to this article again, Tom.
