Release notes haven't been posted yet, so I can't say what the major differences are between 1.0 and the previous stable build, 641d, but I'm looking forware to finding out!"

I'll bet US$100 that Microsoft is bombarding OpenOffice's servers with requests...both to keep them offline AND maybe to learn something in the process :-)

I personally really enjoy working for money but maybe I missed out on something?

Ok, you carry on campaigning for capitalism, where you have to have enough money to live. I'll continue campaigning for socalism, where you simply have to work to live.

Does anyone know if this immaturity is present in other professional working groups such as chemical engineers, doctors, investment bankers, lawyers, biotechnology engineers etc?

Yes, many lawyers give free legal advice for good causes. Medecins sans frontiers et al are about doctors providing free services to the Third World. Chemical/biotechnology researchers in universities are comparatively paid so little in proportion to the benefits reaped by the industry that they might as well be working for free.

The only exception, I'd say, is the "investment banker", a bastion career of capitalism. It is appropriate, therefore, that his services are not provided for free -- no-one believing in sharing/equality would want them anyway.
