Not really a problem for the school because we can ensure that we have 
things set as we want but we give the OpenCD to parents and staff to 
install at home.  Those that have MS products complain that Open Office 
has taken over the file association for MS files like .doc and .xls 
etc.  These people generally do not know how to fix this problem.
