Yes here is the point. Especially when low spec boxes come into play. Old 
Pentium running Win9x and MSO is absolutely viable office conf running well 
and fast. And such boxes are very much in use around here.

Now try running Linux with OpenOffice on such a box. There is absolutely no 
way to achieve comparable perfomance, whatever distro, kernel, window manager 
you run. 

In fact, comparing GUI loading times does not matter for me - its usually 
once-a-day event. But if loading times of OOo and MSO differ in minutes not 
seconds it is a showstopper. And no good explanation helps. Also suggestions 
to use something else instead of OOo monster are completely useless.
