> OpenOffice was such a nice, clean name.

Actually technically it was called OpenOffice.org, which is pretty silly.

True, but it was easy enough talking to non-techies to just drop the .org and no one was the wiser. I also agree the .org was a bit odd to include in the official name.

As another spanish speaker I have to say that the name isn't a problem at all. But I must acknowledge that for the majority of people the name sounds stupid, I wonder how many will get used to it.

I definitely agree. Libre does not nicely roll into Office like Open did. It makes you need to pronounciate more.

I think you mean "enunciate"?

Yes and thanks, that is a handy new word for me.

Hopefully the major distros will just rebrand it, thus removing that problem and allowing for tighter integration with the rest of the OS.
