The "This is not a bug!" comment was made because "of" user 
mistakenly thought that the spec did not require the 
installation to provide non-admin installation.  Look 
at the Windows Installer GUI Spec on 
  http://specs.openoffice.org/installation/index.html 
In Section 6.8 it describes supporting admin and non-admin 
installation, for example saying that if a non-admin tries 
to perform an all-users installation then the installation 
program should only support the single-users installation. 
 
So from the spec point of view, this is clearly a bug. 
It is also a "bug" from a product-design point of view. 
Windows does not permit non-administrators to install 
fonts, but otherwise the rest of OpenOffice does nothing 
for which Windows requires admin privileges.   
 
This means that the installation program could have (and  
should have) been written to check admin rights and then  
install everything but the fonts for non-administrators.
