Comment 9 for bug 283137

Hi,

Thanks for your quick answer !

Are you seriously suggesting that customers using Ubuntu (LTS) on their desktop will not be able to use OpenOffice.org 3 ? And that "This is a really bad idea" that Ubuntu customer can't run Office 3 ? What do you suggest people/companies using Hardy LTS (e.g. on Ubuntu DELL's) should do then ?

Not having Openoffice.org is more of a major bug IMHO.. Isn't it a major turn in Ubuntu policies (starting with this very group, as backporting Office is exactly what is first stated as the fundamental document https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBackports )

In any case, it this an official position from Ubuntu or Canonical ? This may have potentially large impact, should i kindly remember that most (non-geek) people/companies would choose an OS merely as mean to run the Office suite.

I'm slightly puzzled now..
