one question, because i don't get it... you are able to write email to
official apache mailing list, but you are NOT able to download
official OpenOffice from this website?
Well, this is not a web site, of course.
Yes, of course its no website, but to find this mailinglist you have to
go to official apache website.
i really don't understand that!
I do.
it was called openoffice.org, this is also the official link of
website...
People called it Open Office. It's now called Apache OpenOffice. There
are no "org"s about.
maybe its because im using OpenOffice since version 1.0 (oay, since 1996
when you count from StarOffice 4.0) and it was alway www.openoffice.org.
old users should have learn this... maybe MJ is new user.
google makes stupid i suggest.
If you search for "open office" you will indeed get all sorts of
unfortunate references. But after downloading something inappropriate,
a user may then find the real site when searching further for
assistance.
As you may realise, www.openoffice.org redirects to soureceforge.net
for the actual download. On the actual Sourceforge download page, there
is a small legend at the top saying that the download will start
shortly. It will. But there are various large green "Download" buttons
on that page which lead to other, no doubt unwanted, material - which
may well be considered malware. I wonder how many users imagine that to
download the product they need to click such a "Download" button: that
would be a not unreasonable idea! This way, they will receive the
unwanted material along with the real thing.
I trust this helps.

what can apache do, that google dont offer websites with
malware-versions first on search-results? this damn malware versions can
damage the name of the software over time.
