That was just a bogus groklaw report. We simply patch OO like every

we have a good sized team working on OO. We send it all upstream
however and most of it eventually ends up in the base OO.


A couple questions:

1)the additional features include VBA support and also I think
fonts/font support of some kind --- is that correct? I've heard people
say that things like screen fonts, icons, and just general fit and
finish have been improved in the "novell OO" ...

Not sure about this one - to be honest I haven't used a non-Novell built
version of OO.o for ages... sorry.

2)does Novell (or OOo) maintain a windows release with the added VBA
and fonts support? If so -- where is it?

I would love to get a few smaller companies off of the MS Office
bandwagon, as part of a stealth campaign to move them away from
windows all-together. If there are real advantages to the "novell"
version ... then I will seek it out.

Novell do have a Novell built version of OO.o available, however, it
looks like the latest release was 2.0.4. I think this may be updated
round about the SLE 10 SP1/OES 2 release though. I can't find a Novell
built 2.1 for Windows I'm afraid.
