| 819448 | 2009-10-11 22:00:00 | :help: Up front, I'm the Marketing Contact for OpenOffice.org in NZ and I'm after some info. For obvious reasons, like everyone being able to copy it and pass it around, it's difficult for us to get an idea who out there across the digital landscape is using OOo. We used to have a "registration" thing which involved long convoluted survey that only a very small minority of our users filled out. That has been changed now and the survey is optional but you can still register and tell us you're using it (Please do, 3.2 is due for release in the not far distant future so when you upgrade, please register, it only takes 30 seconds.). Unfortunately, locally, that doesn't help me a lot. So I thought I'd ask on here if people would tell me if you use OpenOffice.org, either at home or at work, please specify, I don't need to know the organisation, although that would be nice. If you want it kept confidential you can get my contact details from marketing.openoffice.org We are now thinking about 4.0 as well, so please feel free to add your favorite wishlist or b**ch to the thread. Thanks |

| 819450 | 2009-10-11 22:17:00 | I would install it 15+ times a week on various machines, all from the same installation file, never registered any of 'em. I know I should, just never seem to have the time. ;) Good product, looking forward to OOo 4, it's going really well only bugbear is how much RAM it gobbles up if it's running on startup. Not a problem for newer machines but it can really crawl on some slightly older XP machines. |

| 819453 | 2009-10-11 23:31:00 | Yep, have it on 2 machines in a home office. Have used it since the first RC and completely ditched MS's version at about 1.4 or 5 IIRC. Have used it on both Win and Nix. | Murray P (44) | ||
| 819454 | 2009-10-11 23:36:00 | I started using OpenOffice since version 3, and I've ditched Microsoft Office on all my home computers I like it because it's free, it does everything that MS Office does (and some things better!) and also because it's multi platform. I do however still use Corel Office as well on some machines.... |

| 819455 | 2009-10-11 23:58:00 | I have started using it on Win 7 as the re-installed MSOffice 2000 is just too hard to update (Word crashes on exit). So, put me down as a home user from now on. |

| 819456 | 2009-10-12 00:07:00 | Use it, love it, install it for others, but does it have everything Office has? No - it so desperately needs an email client to be included in the build to keep the interface similar between apps. Also if I'm allowed to b***H as you suggest, to have an option on install that file types default to Office XP/2003 would be just fantastic - the first thing I do after install is change default file types. |
