Looking at the effect phorm's systems(*) will have on privacy of documents, it appears windows users may have a potential problem where linux users don't.
If OOo is used to open a document via http, it appears the windows version (2.3.1/xp) sends a Mozilla user agent header. The linux version (2.3/ubuntu) doesn't seem to send any user agent information. I suspect the windows version may possibly be using IE components internally - can anyone verify or contradict this please? It does mean that any assurances by phorm about document privacy because they "check the user agent" aren't worth the paper they're written on. That is, unless OOo has a way of changing this header information. What does OOo do about cookies from web sites when opening documents from the web?
