The beta did have openoffice.org. In this release, it was decided that translations and input methods are going to be more important. However Pilgrim as a live cd creation tool can work well to create Live CD's out of other combinations of packages as you wish.

It is possible to install into the harddisk but it's not very straight forward yet. Consider this a early Christmas release. It would be likely a feature available in the next version. See the wishlist in http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FedoraLiveCD

Agree, OOo critical for wider use of the Live CD

The first thing most desktop users will try is web browsing and office document work. I think adding OOo is very important if the Live CD is to be useful for getting new potential users to try it out.
