The ease of finding and installing an office suite when there isn't one

Both the scenarios of opening an exisiting file, and trying to create a
document -- some of the things to consider could be:
* what people search for -- (do all users use "Word Processor", or just
"Word") 
* if they search for a word processor in Software, does LO show up as a
"best bet" or do other applications like abiword or calligra show up? --
a default here may help the user because they are getting the software
that may be considered "the best"

Searching for "word" lists mostly unrelevant stuff at the top of the list, but that's an easy fix - LibreOffice just needs to add "word" as a keyword in the desktop file or appdata.

This is why I suggested doing user tests to try to figure out some of these kinks (if we remove LO from the default). Testing will help to show us how people attempt to solve the issue of not having a office suite installed by default.
