You could've taken a screenshot... And yeah, it makes sense that Java users would be offered OpenOffice since Sun develops both.

No, it's a more deep, introspective comment.

I could, but it wasn't my PC, and I hadn't my usb stick when this pops up.

I have not seen that before on my Java updates. Maybe because my Windows boxes all have Open Office already.

But I think its a good idea. The more windows users that get a chance to find Open Office the better.

Yeah, my dad mentioned getting OpenOffice.org after seeing a Java update popup.

It's a nice idea. I'm a little surprised (pleasantly) that Sun would point users to OOo, rather than the Star Office trial version.

Yeah, I've seen that before. It's nice that they're promoting OSS

Get Open Office FREE!

It must be a much better product if they give it away as part of a promotion.
