There are *millions* of users that are still using WinXP and older
versions of MS Office (think schools, libraries, individuals, small
companies, government offices, etc). Granted the ideal situation would
be to have all of them install LO, but we know: 1) that just isn't going
to happen, 2)

Hi Ben,

I have seen moments too in the first months of TDF that did not feel so

share-point connector, ODF modul for MSO) which were not open source
licensed but were mainly free to use and helped a lot integrating OO.o
May I just take the time to agree 100% that this old stuff is, or
should be, dead and buried so we can move on. Remember, we are not

Keeping OO separate from LO is a good thing overall; more actors in
the open source office software sector gives healthy competition (like
Opera and Firefox for web browsers), innovation and shows m$ users the
