Thank you for catching that, we forgot to edit that page (although that is the 
release notes trimmed down immensly)

OpenOffice2 is *not* installed by default, but is an option that you can pick.

The virtulization support is as a client only, *not* as a host, so the 
detection of CPU virtulization support is not even relavent.  Only the hosts 
care if the CPU has cirtulization support.
