LibreOffice finally gets a unified installer for Windows, combining spelling and interface languages, tools and utilities into a single package.
Having a single file to download that gives you everything you need to use the software will make it more appealing to mainstream users.

Talkback
The biggest annoyance to me with LibreOffice is it takes forever to initialise (I don't mean installing it).
Loading a spreadsheet with something like Gnumeric takes seconds, with LibreOffice it takes about a minute.
Here are some steps that worked for me:
Enable the fast startup item and
* disable Java in the preferences.
* Set the memory use of LibreOffice to about 256Mb and
* set fewer steps for undoing.
* Try Quick starter
This makes it a LOT faster.
