On the home page of www.openoffice.org, click on "I want to download

You seem to think that the web site always offers the Windows version
by default. Are you sure? For what it's worth, I assumed that it
auto-detects the user's operating system (from information provided by
the browser) and offers the *appropriate* version. But I haven't
tested this.
Yes, I thought the auto-detect was too much to expect. Silly of me,
these guys are good! I also forgot to mention the Start menu.
If this is true, there is a potential snag: a user who downloads the
product, say, at work or at a friend's or in a library or internet
cafe but for use at home is in danger of obtaining an inappropriate
version without any explanation.
