+1 from me. Shipping one OO.o2 on the CD is painful enough in terms of
size, shipping two makes it even worse. Please don't get me wrong, I
don't have anything against WinFOSS, nor OO.o, but I think trying to
squeeze too many things onto just one CD might cripple all parts to a
degree that could actually do more harm than good for their promotion.

The OpenCD, or even a separate 'Ubuntu WinFOSS CD' would make it
possible to improve both the Ubuntu Live CD and the WinFOSS software
IMHO. (E. g. you could ship translations, translated help files, and
more useful software on a dedicated WinFOSS CD).

Thanks,

Martin
