Hi People, I got bored a bit today and decided to do a simple test:
Mark gave me a sub notebook (P-II 300MMX, 96MB RAM, cannot expand it to more then that) and I installed on it Red Hat 8.0 (without any tweaks or updates). I selected the development installation + Open Office. After I finished, I installed CrossOver office 1.3.1 + MS Office 2000 (only Word, Outlook and Excel)... After I finished, I typed few pages in each of them, in open office's word processor, and in Word 2000. In each document I added tables and other stuff.. I was surprised at one thing - the performance. Word 2k on this low end machine was about 2-3 times FASTER then open office! I did another test, but this time, instead of using Window Maker, I used KDE 3.0.3 - the results were almost the same, although of-course, the machine was much more slow responsive due to KDE hefty memory requirements... Wasn't all the Star Office bloat removed in open office? Oh, one more thing - with crossover office 1.3.1 I was finally able to write full hebrew documents without (almost) any problems, answer forums questions in hebrew (using Explorer under crossover office).
