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

Hi :)
Yes, but another advantage is longer term support.  Corporate organisations and people who don't 
have unilmited broadband don't have time to download test and install a new version every few 
weeks.  Many would like something that lasts a year or few even if that means not having the latest 
new features (which may or may not work as intended even after QA).  Longer term support would have 
to include bug-fixes and a forum or mailing list for answers.  
Regards from
Tom :)

I think the idea is to have on version a little more bleeding edge and
one version that is stable. The stable version is for those who can not
tolerate a slightly quirky version of LO, particularly in business.
