Not necessarily as LO is installing a version with security issues & IMO
that needs to be resolved. The standard 'user' won't know to uninstall
the bundled version as plino did. This is similar to when OOo installed
insecure versions of java et al. The user would then have parallel
versions of jave installed.

I'd recommend a followup to the dev list. plino, when you do that you
might also add links to the security notices for the earlier version of
VC++ 2008.
