[users] Is Open Office compatible with WIN 7?

[John Boyle]

To Users: I use WIN XP, and today at my computer club, we had a 
presentation of WIN 7 and the FACT that MANY programs are NOT compatible 
with it, OR , the FACT that you have to have the original installation 
disks, as you have to re-install ALL programs, although you can  and 
must back up ALL that you have on your computer NOW! I was given a WIN 7 
Upgrade Advisor disk, to take home, this is NOT WIN 7 itself, but it 
checks out what you have both in devices and in software, and gives you 
a list of what will work and what won't! BEFORE, anyone upgrades, it 
would behoove you to get that Advisor from MSFT! Those of you who just 
got NEW computers with WIN 7 already installed, I say great, but most of 
us are in deep trouble, as I see it!!! =-O  You will either have to find 
ALL the original installation disks, or get new versions on disks, 
except for Open Office, which you will just have to download ALL OVER 
AGAIN! It seems it is mandatory that you backup ALL your hard drives, 
even though you still have to have the original installation disks, 
anyway! Plus you may have to get NEW HARDWARE,  also!  How many think 
WIN 7 is worth ALL this trouble? :-\
