LibreOffice takes over.

Just thought I'd pass this along...
I've been using OpenOffice since I bought my first computer and decided I wasn't going to pay some ridiculous price for M$ Word. It's been a good piece of software, but when I heard that Oracle had bought Sun I figured its days as free - and efficient - software might be numbered.
Trawling the net I learnt about LibreOffice, which is almost identical on the screen. Not surprising, because LO's creators also worked on OO. I decided to download and install today, mainly to see how well it meshes with XP. But I was caught unawares when LP basically pushed OO off to the side. My OO Writer files all open in LO when I click on them. Click on Properties and LO is there as 'Opens with' option. Even my Quickstarter icon has been - all right, I'll say it: assimilated.
Most programs install with a window that asks do you want this prog to open file types X Y Z... LO didn't bother with that, unless I blinked and missed it (and clicked Yes at the same time). A little annoying. Other than that, all seems well.
