I downloaded the Windows/English binaries and installed in three scenarios: 1) New Windows XP/SP3 system that never had OOo on it. 2) XP/SP3 system that had OOo 3.3.0 already installed on it 3) XP/SP3 system that had LO 3.5.1 already installed on it. These scenarios all worked fine, installing cleanly. I've also been running the dev packs in my daily work for over a month now. My experience is that it is very stable. At the ODF Plugfest in Brussels last week I used AOO 3.4 in my interop testing. We did well. We should be proud of what we've accomplished. +1 (PPMC) > [ ] +1 Release this package as Apache OpenOffice 3.4 (incubating) > [ ] 0 Don't care > [ ] -1 Do not release this package because... >
