Yup, actually OOo is the worst software, which I *have* to use everyday.
Only for that MS file format support thing.
You know funny thing is, instead of tuning it to start faster, in 1.1
beta, they have added a status bar, so that when OOo is starting, you
will know how many minutes you have, to go and get a coffee and come
back ;-)
There was a time, when Sun was known for producing fast, secure and
stable code. e.g back in mid 90s, everyone (even their competitors)
agreed that Solaris was the best *nix ever. When in 2000 they announced
their plan for staroffice/openoffice.Borg I really expected something
much better than this bloated piece of ash**
It makes me wonder, what happened to that sun?
just my $0.02
