I still don't see the big difference between OOo and Mozilla in that regard. The only one i can see is JRE and that can be tested for like anything else. > So how would you guess a default for OOo? > Default to english and still start the download?

Set up an infrastructure to mark QA'd packages and have them appear in dedicated places...build a servlet to probe for available packages...have that scriptlet spit out a JavaScript to probe for users environment, pick the right download and inform the user about what he gets. > Native-language versions in general: How would you deal with different > versions being > QA'd / approved at different points in time? Offer latest native language version AND latest english version, if newer. Inform user. In any case, always offer an option to unguided choice. > I /still/ don't see a one-click solution, and honestly I still don't > see what is wrong when > the user has to do two clicks.

I guess the question here is not if the user is dumb, but if you want them to try OOo or if they want to try OOo. André.
