AOO 3.4.0 |
Windows/en-US |
Partial. It is referred to as "Apache OpenOffice.org" |
No glaring errors. |
UI is a bit spammy. I was fooled into clicking download links that were not really for AOO, but for other things. |
Heise Software Verzeichnis |
AOO 3.4.0 |
Windows XP, Server 2003, Server 2008, Vista, 7, Linux, Mac OS X/Intel |
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 Totally outdated.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. |

Softonic (Italian) |
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Acceptable but outdated, with many references to 3.0 |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. |
