I must say I'm really disappointed at how the Apache Foundation has dealt with AOO. Putting out an insecure product out there to millions of users is really terrible. Especially when there is a simple solution, which is to redirect everyone to LO, I have no doubt the LO community would be more than happy to help AOO users have a simple upgrade path.

Same here. This is harming the prospects of open source office technology - Microsoft couldn't do more to harm it than aoo does, sadly.

The entire ecosystem around Foss office is less healthy thanks to this and users are harmed, getting far less than the best open source has to offer. Yeah it is frustrating, I can totally imagine that for the contributors to LO...
