------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Wed May 30 18:39:27 +0000 2007 ------- With Windows XP we took steps to make it easier for customers to find software applications that can operate on specific file types. To do this Windows XP added a web service which presents applications which can operate on a given file type. Doing this for ODF extensions or OOo 1.x file extensions results in an unknown file type. See http://shell.windows.com/fileassoc/0409/xml/redir.asp?EXT=odt This leaves users receiving the more and more popular ODF documents puzzled not having a clue what to do with the file, instead of pinting them to the OOo website and suggesting to download OOo. The referenced Microsoft Knowledge Base document #929149 ( http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929149 ) claims that vendors can e-mail the form (attached to the KB article) to MS and their product will be added to the database. This seems like an easy way to attract _lots_ of new users. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
