That Urmas is also demonstrating his ignorance in the LibreOffice
group. To make the claims he is, one has to be totally clueless or a
d*mned liar. I certainly have my suspicions on which.

I guess it had to happen sometime - someone, somewhere would find *something* to
whine about.

There are old bugs on all platforms. And there are platform bigots on
all platforms. None of that is going to change. But I don't see any
evidence that the needs of Windows users are prioritized less than Mac
OS or Linux users.

So you'd rather whine about some kind of 'problem' (that you don't give an example
of btw, and which you simply could have written to this list about...2-3 years
ago...to ask about it or let the dev's know about it) and pet peeves of a *FREE*
software suite instead of going and using/buying the similar app (which has
hundreds of people *getting paid* to work on) built purely for that nasty Windows
OS?
You wouldn't happen to be sitting in a park, using someone elses wireless
connection to get online, defecating anywhere you please along with a
hundred other people who haven't bathed in a couple weeks instead of being at work
like the rest of us and are holding signs complaining about those who worked hard
to have the money and company(ies) they own, would you?
There's no pleasing the ungrateful.

It depends on how you install it. If you install from the debs (as I always do), then it's the same as under Windows.
I use AOO at work on Windows and at home under GNU/Linux (xubuntu) and have never really seen any major difference.

The 4.0.0 release was delayed to fix one specific bug, that only
affected Windows 8 systems.

Dictionaries are exactly the same on all platforms. If you have
dictionary problems on Windows, reset your profile:
http://forum.openoffice.org/en/forum/viewtopic.php?t=12426
If you still have problems, write again but please include more details
(your language + your dictionary version + one specific problem).

Andrea.

Yes, you're right, there is a lot that could be improved but keep in mind that Oracle hasn't done anything to improve the product.
I have a lot of respect for the hard work these volunteers do.

"Rob Weir":
In what way do you think this is true?
Bugs/features affecting Windows integration or performance are overlooked,
sometimes for 2–3 years. Compatibility and interaction with Windows-only
software is ridiculed.
Those ones affecting Linux get more attention. It gives a clear message that
developers give no crap about users and are concerned only with their
corporations' interests.
My pet peeve is the terrible work with dictionaries in Windows version which
makes me use a Linux VM just to proofread documents.
