Open Office 3.0 Released Today

So, OpenOffice 3.0 was released today and their website can't handle it.

I like the part where they say "...unprecedented demand for the new release 3.0..." DUH! It was just released.. so of course it is unprecedented! =P

Two solutions that they should have embraced.

1. BitTorrent. Most of the people I know that would want this ASAP are running a torrent client of some type.

2. Amazon Web Services S3. They could have had it online in a matter of minutes and offloaded all of that bandwidth for fairly cheap, and it is fast and reliable. It would cost them about $4 per month to store ALL the versions (really) and about 15 cents for every 6 downloads (really!) Services such as SMUGMUG use S3 for their photo storage. (S3 = Simple Storage Service)

At least this gave me something to talk about instead of the boring spy photos of the Apple "Brick" (Isn't that what most of their products do?) =)
