If this is the future of OpenOffice.org (needing extra files, such as MS C++ redistributable), I see no reason to continue using it past 3.1x. You already need Java for a good deal of OOo, now this? No thank you. Let me know when someone really forks OOo as a true open-source project (none of this dual-licensing junk that Sun/Oracle mandates) that can compete with MS Office (and no, go-ooo doesn't count either as Novell is apparently a shill for MS).
I'm really saddened to see such a prosperous relationship come to an end (I've been using OOo since almost the beginning too, as well as having used StarOffice 5.2 (latest version I remember having)). -- Yours In Christ, PIT Emails are not formal business letters, whatever businesses may want.
