I know. But they owned it for years and did nothing about it. It has 1001 
features no one ever uses, that's a fact :-)

I haven't seen ms office 11 or even Xp yet, but comparing the footprints of eg 
koffice with the corresponding parts of MS office, I think koffice roughly 
takes about one and a half times the memory that ms office takes. 

Overall I find the speed of ms office pretty good. I wo't comment any further 
about MS office though :-)
