Re: [libreoffice-users] Dead End or Evolution?

One of the differences between LO and OOo, is that LO is slowly moving 
away from Java for internal use.

As for OOo templates, I have not found any templates that worked with 
OOo 3.x to not work with LO 3.3.x and 3.4.x.  As for the added words to 
your local dictionary, some one here must know where they are stored and 
will be able to tell you how you can move it over to LO from OOo.  I 
know that all of the .oxt dictionaries for OOo seems to work for LO, 
except for one or two exceptions that I know of and fixed one of these 
myself.

OOo is not dead, but in a state of flux with it being given to Apache 
and currently not on their main track of products being worked on.  
While on the other hand, LO is being actively being improved.  If you 
check published articles, when LO's original 3.3.0 came out, it was 
better than OOo's 3.3.0 version.  LO seems to have been better than OOo 
in every article since its first release.

So, there are ways for Lo and OOo to be on the same computer, but it is 
better to choose just one.  I have chosen LO over OOo since it came out.
