-       <content:encoded>&lt;p&gt;We always stress that people should only 
install the &amp;#8216;test&amp;#8217; versions of OpenOffice.org on spare PCs. 
Needless to say I ignored that advice and installed the new &lt;a 
href=&quot;http://www.mealldubh.org/index.php/2008/09/06/30-the-final-hurdle/&quot;&gt;Release
 Candidate&lt;/a&gt; on my everyday Eee PC. I&amp;#8217;d already installed the 
3.0 beta on it without problems, so why not?&lt;/p&gt;
-&lt;p&gt;Anyway, this proved to be a mistake, with all sorts of bizarre 
symptoms - &lt;a 
href=&quot;http://www.openoffice.org/product/calc.html&quot;&gt;Calc&lt;/a&gt; 
wouldn&amp;#8217;t start, although everything else was ok; and I 
couldn&amp;#8217;t get any language tools to work.&lt;/p&gt;
-&lt;p&gt;So, I did a complete purge of anything OpenOffice.org related on the 
laptop, installed the Release Candidate again, and everything was fine. It even 
imported my OpenOffice.org 2.0 settings correctly.&lt;/p&gt;
-&lt;p&gt;So if you&amp;#8217;re testing and see something similar - before 
protesting, do a clean install. For the record, the Release Candidate is 
working fine for me. The one issue I found in the Beta - a failure to export a 
particularly complex document as a pdf - now works fine.&lt;/p&gt;
-&lt;p&gt;However, other testers have reported issues, mostly language related, 
so expect another Release Candidate, and the final product towards the end of 
September. I can already anticipate the question: &amp;#8220;Why delay the 
English version if it&amp;#8217;s ok?&amp;#8221; Well, I haven&amp;#8217;t done 
the sums, but I&amp;#8217;m willing to bet there are far fewer people using 
OpenOffice.org in English than there are &lt;a 
href=&quot;http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Languages&quot;&gt;in other 
languages&lt;/a&gt;. Certainly the activity in the various &lt;a 
href=&quot;http://projects.openoffice.org/native-lang.html&quot;&gt;Native 
Language Projects&lt;/a&gt; puts the English speaking countries to 
shame!&lt;/p&gt;</content:encoded>
