Hi,
I'm a longtime user of StarOffice and OpenOffice and participated many
years in [email protected] and in testing OOo and will continue this
with AOO.
You are welcome.

When the "feature" to replace the old version in any case was introduced
(IIRC with OOo 2) I had a long discussion in [email protected], but
the bad decision (IMO) was not corrected.
Nobody who is working on large documents can risk to change his writing
tool. They will not replace f.e. OOo 3.3 with OOo 3.4 and so much
intensive testing will not take place.
OOo installing with param "-a" or "/a" was a means to use a new version
(without system integration on Windows) parallel to the old.
I hope that this is also possible with OOo 3.4 and later with AOO 4. Can
anybody confirm this?
Yes, it is still possible for version 3.4 by the same way. I don't
remember, whether it is possible to copy over the user folder. If you
notice problems with extensions for example, you should start with a
new, default user folder.
No plans exist yet, whether a AOO 4 will replace a AOO 3.4.
Kind regards
Regina
