Don't be silly. Lots of programs are needing some basic minimal
requirements, just as MSO does.
A *lot* of programs need 2005 C++ redistr (or even 2008)... so what? It
is small and free.
Complaining about something like this is - well, I guess I already said
it... it is silly.
WoW!
When I started this thread, I seemed to open up a can of worms.
I just wanted to know a few things.
1) What is different about OOo3.2 that requires Admin privileges when
3.1.1 did not?
2) Why does 3.2 [windows] need MS Visual C++ when 3.1.1 did not?
Now we have tech people getting all hot about IT policies on software
installs.
I just wanted to know the WHY for the new requirements for 3.2.
But as I said before, I did not get loading twice as fast. I got it 5
to 10 times as fast.
That it one of the best things I see for upgrading to 3.2
When 3.2 gets onto the Ubuntu resource site so I can update the other
computers,
I wonder what is being used for Win Visual C++ since I do not remember
it being
able to do Linux.

waiting for my new computer system to be shipped - Ubuntu/OOo 3.1.1?3.2?
