Description lars.nooden 2007-10-23 12:45:12 UTC 
The main page for  OOo should prominently feature a link to Sun's ODF plug-in
for MS Office so that OOo users can exchange data more easily with the
disadvantaged:

Comment 1 kazarnyc 2007-10-24 13:51:44 UTC 
If this request is implemented, *please* include a note that the Sun plug-in is
for Windows only. This will save Mac users the trouble and frustration of
clicking the link only to discover it will not help them. Let's remember that it
is MS's OS, not just their office suite, that turns The Rest Of Us into some
kind of 2nd-class citizen ... so please remember we Mac users! Thanks.

Good point.  I'm still using OS X a lot, but never considered the possibility
that  MSO was even available for OS X anymore, or that old copies of MSO XP were
still not replaced by OOo or SO.
