-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Please, don't enter into political consideration of something that was just a bug. It was me that screwed it up and during the pre-announcement phase sprint, I forgot to regenerate the product IDs and thus LO had the product IDs of OOo. This is fixed in beta2, so stay tuned. As a side-effect though is that one has to uninstall beta1 before one can install correctly beta2.
