2 thinks for the future

2 things to think about for the future of AOO:


Im using Star/OpenOffice since 1996 on desktop-machines.

In the last years the mobile market rised up and pushed the ARM-architecture to new highs. now its a wide spread competitor to the old "king" x86.

I think its time for the AOO develops to think about to support ARM like they do with x86-cpus.... dont do the same mistake as e.g. intel and oversleep trents...

And the second thing: Hope there is an auto-updater for patches soon.... this feature is missing for over 10 years!!!


otherwise: keep up the good work.

best regards

K. Hauser

For the time being we'll have to continue downloading the full package, 
since the patch system is only available to Windows users: it uses 
Microsoft technologies that, as far as I know, are not meant to be 
ported to other systems.

What about the rest of us who know enough to use OSX or Linux or OS2?
