You decide.
Sincerely, it's not as bad as you said. I did a tour of it yesterday and
my desktop didn't burst into fire. :) I found few problems but nothing
really lethal until now (I admit I didn't try very deep but I was
expecting much worst).
I am starting to think that the badness of OpenOffice in 64bits was just
a rumor (as nobody really tried out).
Just for the record, you can get it here:
# OpenOffice 2.0 (64bits)
deb ftp://ftp-fourier.ujf-grenoble.fr/linux/oo64/ ./
PS: Yes, an "else" would be better.

In fact, in Linux we did try C++ once already, back in 1992. It sucks.
Trust me - writing kernel code in C++ is a BLOODY STUPID IDEA.
