Why would you be offended by that? Regardless of whether it's true or

Since Abiword is more or less on our side of 'the battle', one would
expect different advertising.
Hmm... this advertising is by AbiWord? That's interesting. I didn't
expect that because John's quote wasn't positive towards Abi either.
I still don't see a reason to take offence. And I don't expect one FOSS
project to give another an easy time just because they are FOSS. All I
expect is them to be truthful and to not troll.
Even on a new computer, using the latest version, when I start OOo I
can go to the kitchen, get a drink and come back just when the
application is loading.
You must be joking here.
Or you mean a 'kitchen' right on your desk and with a very small cup to
fill ;-)
I'm not kidding. Admitedly, the kitchen is not far, but it's on a
different room. I just did a test. It's heavily biased in favour of OOo
but I can't be bothered to make a typical case right now. It took 1
minute to load and took 91% of the CPU load. I say the test is heavily
biased in favour of OOo because I've closed all my applications and
because I was using OOo just a second ago, so it's all in RAM already.
On a typical case it takes long enough that when I start OOo I stand up
to stretch my back while it's loading.
Well, on my more then two years old laptop, I run FireFox, Mozilla,
1.1.5, 2.0.2, Gimp and more at once.
My laptop is older than that I think. It is *able* to run that much, but
I really don't enjoy it. I only did it when I really had to. I expect my
computer to at least be able to run Thunderbird, Firefox, Epiphany, Gimp
and OOo at the same time, because that's what I can reasonably expect to
need and I don't want to be opening and closing applications.
Cheers,
Daniel.
