OpenOffice.org Performance

[Hugh Reilly]

In my experience, OO is slow to open, but once it's open, it runs just fine. 
So I can forgive the slow opening. And I actually do prefer it to Word. It 
actually let's me do what I want rather than having Bill Gates "think for 
me", which only requires additional mouse-clicks to undo what Bill thinks I 
want.
