TwitterThinkAll has been shut down!
Jan 26
Finally, after all that work ThinkAll has been officially shutdown. I would like to think it had something to do with my very popular post about the scam they were running.
The Commission vote to file the complaint was 5-0. It was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas, Sherman Division on January 9, 2007. On January 10, 2007, the court issued a Temporary Restraining Order enjoining the illegal activities of defendants Think All Publishing, L.L.C. and Yuri Mintskovsky and freezing their assets.

I was also caught with this scam, ordering the CD and after receiving the second set I “caught” on and cancelled with a very demanding e-mail to them that they are catching many like me who do not have the time to read all the “small print” (to our detriment of course) My Credit card showed me what was going on, no invoice or pre warnings that I was being billed via any media.
The problem with this Open Office is that it messes up your registry and takes control without warning of specific functions of Windows. Getting rid of it completely requires a re-installation of Windows, so my advice is do not even bother to evaluale. It truly is rubbish clothed in a Windows jacket!!
Thanks for your great work here.

The shady Mintskovsky is back in business as CD Earth, it seems.
By the way, Chris, Openoffice does NOT mess up your registry, it does not take control without warning (for instance, it asks you if you want OO to handle MS Office documents) and removing it does NOT require a reinstallation of Windows.
By all means, evaluate it and pay no attention to FUD spread by others.
