I wonder if the order makes it known that even those machines encumbered with MSO are able to have OOo installed along side the legacy software? I hope the Utah State Department of Technology is able to install OOo on *all* the machines. I know first hand that the belief of in a false dichotomy (Either-Or) has been cultivated among many users. They have been told repeatedly to believe that they can only use one application per service or function. -Lars --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@marketing.openoffice.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@marketing.openoffice.org
