Basically installing AOO doesn't mean we agreed to open MS office
formats in AOO.
And it's supposed there's an option page to choose whether we'll open
them in AOO or not.
But I couldn't find any similar option. I installed AOO 3.4 twice to
check this on Windows 7 32bit.
It's very strange and shame. It should be checked and fixed.
I am unsure from your statement Choi (is it proper to use the second name in
conversation?) whether you were confirming the user's report.
If what the reporter says is true then this needs to be a bugzilla and possible
blocker for 3.4.1. How is this being tested on Windows? And is the result that
installing AOO 3.4 on it does in fact cause (or even has as a default) the
shifting of MS Office document types to be opened with AOO instead of MS
Office. If MS Office is present then this must not be the the default option.
The check must not be implicit to the user who just clicks continue and accept
buttons through the WIndows installation process. Users must explicitly choose
to have AOO override MS Office for MS Office documents.

I often wonder why somebody that has Microsoft Office would have the
need to install Open Office anyway!
Isn't Open Office mainly for those people who cannot afford, or who are
unwilling to pay for Microsoft Office?
