I suspect someone confused Watts vs Watt-Hours. Perhaps a cow can do 2000 Watt-Hours of work in a day. Even that sounds high, but it might be achievable.
A nasty bug that's stopped me from introducing OOo at the office is bug #53184
It seems the Windows version of OOo can't open files that are on a Windows file server that happens to have a "_" character in it's name. In our case, there's only one such unlucky server in the entire site, but that's the one that our people most commonly use. MS Office users can click on those files with no issue, but nothing happens with OOo. That is, OOo just closes with no warnings, no error messages. The poor program just dies silently.
In http://qa.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=53184, status says it's "fixed", but the activity log shows it's never been merged into the release version. This is the 3rd release since the bug was declared "fixed", but it's still not released. Scroll to the bottom of that bug report to see the story.
I live in Melbourne Florida, you insensitive clod......;)
(We have a store called "BITS" that's good for getting parts to build your own PC. For piles of used stuff, we have "AstroToo". Not that you insensitive big-city peeps should care about that.)
I'm as blind as you were. Had to go back to the original story and search out the link to the link.
Whatever... here's the (almost hidden) link...

Had to add extensions to the filename to make it play in WinXP.
Added ".mp4" to the filename, and it plays in WMP, but sound was missing.
Added ".mov" to the filename, and it plays OK in Quicktime (and sound works)....

I'm getting good service so far. I recommend it.

We once took an old drive, a full-height model around 80 Meg, and removed it's cover to see what would happen. Suprisingly, it worked for a while. It was a very good show, and that's reason enough to do it.
I wouldn't do this with data I cared about, but that's not the point. It's for show, not for data. And, by the examples in the story, it works... sometimes. No problem.
Hmmm..., I go to http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com/ , and it tells me:
To view and download updates for your computer, your Internet Explorer security settings must meet the following requirements:
Security must be set to medium or lower
Active scripting must be set to enabled
The download and initialization of ActiveX Controls must be set to enabled
Note These are default settings for Internet Explorer.
These are things I turned off for security reasons (and to prevent pop-up windows;) ).
So... to get a new security patch, I've got to turn-off my previous security ???
Hmmm..., let me think about that...

GNUWin does Not use SCO libraries.
There is no liability to SCO.
There is no registration.
Nobody is tracking you.
--------
Some legacy SCO applications were ported to Linux using SCO libraries. Those are the ones with legal libabilities. GNUWin did not do that.
