AOO 3.4

Windows/en-US

Partial.  Title is correct, but description refers to "OpenOffice.org".

Some errors:

1. License is stated as LGPL

2. "Note: As of April 2011, commercial development of OpenOffice.org project has been terminated. LibreOffice, a fork of OpenOffice is now available for download here."

We should contact them to get these errors corrected.

Good job!

Softpedia

AOO 3.4.0

Windows/en-US

They do not host the binaries.  Instead they point directly to the SourceForge copy.

Partial.  It is referred to as "Apache OpenOffice.org"

No glaring errors.

Comments are generally positive, though the numerical rating does not seem to correspond with the comments.

UI is a bit spammy.  I was fooled into clicking download links that were not really for AOO, but for other things.

AOO 3.4.0

Windows XP, Server 2003, Server 2008, Vista, 7, Linux, Mac OS X/Intel

de (full install), en-US (langpack)

They host the binaries, incl. virus check.

No branding, no graphics/logos.  Title and description is talking about "OpenOffice".

Product description refers to versions "3.0" and "3.20". Totally outdated.

Only 1 comment from 2012 and this is the usual rant about AOO vs. LO.

No links pointing back to AOO project or Apache at all.

AOO 3.4.0

Windows/fr

No Apache branding.

Except for the branding issue, the description is accurate.

We're their #2 download, behind Adobe Acrobat Reader.

Softonic

AOO 3.4.0

Windows (it)

Partially updated but with imprecise information (e.g., "OpenOffice" being the old name and "Apache OpenOffice.org" the new one)

Acceptable but not fully updated outdated, with many references to 3.0

They offer very prominently their downloader/installer (which I didn't try) and, less visibly, the SF link.
