In the release notes of Libreoffice (I'm a self-confessed instructions-addict!) it states "For Windows users that have OpenOffice.org installed, we advise uninstalling that beforehand, because it registers the same file type associations" - do I need to take note of that? If so, which is better, OpenOffice or Libreoffice?
No you don't have to. Ideally you just need to set the preference for which program opens an OpenOffice file. Just right click on a file and choose which of possbibly several programs you can use to open the file.
In fact, for some bizarre reason that I have forgotten, if I click on a ods file it opens in LO but odt files open in AOO.
Which one of LO or AOO use depends on your specific needs. Other than file conversions the two tend to be pretty much the same for regular use. Acutally I am not sure about this with AOO 4.0 as I have not installed it yet.
