Re: [libreoffice-users] Egypt

I would say stick with OOo 3.2 for a bit longer then.  These are early days for 
the first release and we have almost all experienced rapid improvements in the 
first few days of many other projects.

Software piracy is rife everywhere.

'Slightly' larger issues are going on in Eygpt and elsewhere right now

Tom :)

While some battle for open programs and formats, many south africans
use pirated software and dont know there are alternatives. i install
open source alternatives for my students, but with the problems i am
having with libre office i cannot reccomend it. it is more than ten
times slower than open office 3.2.1
