a)  This is one of the "dammed if we do, dammed if we don't" things.

Specifically, by omitting it from the installation menu, people think
that MSO files can not be opened by OOo.  By including it in the
installation menu, people are going to either click "yes", or "no",
without paying any attention to what they are clicking.

b) Uninstall MSO.
Install OOo.
Configure OOo to automatically open MSO file extensions. (I don't
remember if OOo automatically assigns MSO file extensions to OOo, if
MSO is not installed.)
Install MSO, and notice how it handles the MSO file extensions.

I'll also ask why do people want to open files by hunting through
their computer, without opening the program first?

Move it to the existing screen about MSO file options?
