It seems to end up with the problem being Windows lacking a system-wide
package management system, and 

- no one wants to make such a system just for libreoffice
- it's more work figuring out the problems that probably will arise from
an "upgrade package" than actually just installing the newer version of
openoffice.

These would probably be good reasons to give if anyone asks? #1 answer
also puts the responsibility for building a package management system to
where it belongs: the system owners, Microsoft.
