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

Hi again :)
Sorry for the double posting!  LibreOffice is the free version of OpenOffice.  OpenOffice may or 
may not remain free or split into 2 parts so that there is a trial version and a 'full' version 
that might cost.  

Oracle have started a process of giving OpenOffice to the Apache Foundation.  If Apache do run 
OpenOffice then it will probably continue to be free and will probably develop faster than it did 
under Sun or Oracle.  It's still very unclear what is happening with it or where it will be in 2 
years time.  By contrast LibreOffice is firmly established.  

Regards from
Tom :)

I'm behind on the issue of the demise of Open Office and the emergence of Libreoffice.
 Will the installation of Libreoffice recognize all my OpenOfffice files.
  Will utalizing Libreoffice end up with both OpenOffice and Libreoffice being installed on my 
computer. I don't want both systems so should I uninstall or remove OpenOffice?
 What will happen to the OpenOffice custom templates I how have? Also the dictionary I have added 
many words too?
  Will anyone continue to support the free version of OpenOffice?
