------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Wed Aug 24 19:59:13 -0700 2005 ------- OpenOffice 1.1.4 can be installed on Windows machines without administrator privileges. However, the current build 1.9.m122 requires administrator privileges, which means that its use must be justified to Microsoft-oriented I. S. "professionals". This means that Windows users are likely to spark an administration turf war and/or not be allowed to install OpenOffice. While philosophically, it makes some sense to only allow Windows administrators to install software, that practice is effective only when the administrators are both competent and sensible, which unfortunately is rare. Please allow OpenOffice 2.0 to be installed by those users who do not have Windows administrator privileges. Failure to do so will prevent large numbers of Windows users from using OpenOffice. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
