Whatever the approach, I'm 100% with using a way that makes installation 
as easy as possible, bearing in mind non-technical users and users on 
not-the-latest technology. It's sheer lunacy to spend all this time and 
effort on OS software development to then effectively restrict the pool 
of people who CAN use again because we didn't think through what happens 
when some 14 year old tries to install the X language version via her 
mega-slow internet connection in rural Y.

We're not all on fibre optic broadband, the latest operating system and 
can hold our own at some hackfest :)

According to the LO Wikipedia page, they want 200 million users (~25 m 
today). Well, ambitious, but an awful lot of these will have to come 
from non-techy non-urban non-a-lot-of-things background. So let's cater 
for them.

Speaking of which, has there ever been any user testing done on the 
OO/LO family in terms of installtion and the GUI?
