Why on earth does the OO.o site not post, up front right in the
heading, the full actual version number of the software being offered
for download? Without this number, it is pretty much impossible tell
if one already has the most current version or not. To find this
number, one pretty much has to download the current version and
install it, or at least unpack it.
For instance, six weeks ago I downloaded what was called only
OpenOffice.org 2.0 "Beta 2". What was actually installed on my
machine had the version number 1.9.125. Well actually, the heading
above this says quite clearly 'OpenOffice.org 2.0.' Nowhere in my
actual installed version is it actually called Beta 2.
Today, I noticed on the site that OO 2.0 "Release Candidate" is now
available for download. No actual version number. So I downloaded
this, thinking it was an updated version. Trying to install it, the
install program informed me that I already had a LATER version of the
program installed. Well that was a waste of a 75mb download. I still
don't know what the actual version number of OO 2.0 this "RC1" might be.
How many terabytes of bandwidth is being wasted on similar clueless
folks like me downloading software they don't actually need simply
because they don't what version is being posted?
Finally, why is this office software called OpenOffice.org rather
than simply OpenOffice? Isn't 'dot org' connoting a website rather than an app?
