Why do you sell more than one OpenOffice.org レコード? What are the differences?
When we first became a Community Distributor, we saw a number of 改良s that could be made to the レコード at the time. We have since 改善するd our レコードs much more over the years. 8daysaweek.co.uk CDs and DVDs have our 平易な 取り付け・設備 Menus, 取り付け・設備 enhancements, online help とじ込み/提出するs or all the 付加 Open Source and Freeware programs.
We also sell the "基準 ISO Image" レコード, which doesn't 含む the above について言及するd 平易な 取り付け・設備 menus, help とじ込み/提出するs and 付加 programs. This is the レコード 申し込む/申し出d by most other Community Distributors. It doesn't always 含む the 最新の 見解/翻訳/版 of OpenOffice.org, いつかs a few weeks or months may pass before the レコード is updated.
If you are 確信して about 任命する/導入するing programs, can't or don't want to do a long download, or 簡単に want a backup copy just of OpenOffice.org, then the "基準 ISO Image" レコード will probably be 適する for you.
The "基準 ISO Image" has an OpenOffice.org logo printed 直接/まっすぐに の上に high-質 マスコミ in 十分な colour. We are not 責任がある the contents of the CD and don't make any changes to it.
What does ISO mean?
ISO 言及するs to the "International Organization for 標準化". If you're thinking "Why isn't it IOS?" look here.
The phrase "ISO image", when referring to CDs or DVDs, just means that an "image" or structure of a レコード has been agreed upon which 適合するs to ISO 基準s for CDs or DVDs and can be read by all computers.
Our other CDs & DVDs also 適合する to ISO 基準s they're just different from the "基準" レコード 述べるd above.
