We had an issue at work where applix would not open a powerpoint file without the latest patches from www.applix.com applied but SO5 did. As a matter of interest, one of the work machines is a dual Pentium II 450 with 256mb of system memory, and a matrox millenium G200 8mb card. We all sat around waiting for SO5 to load on this beast also. After the first time, SO must load a bunch of stuff into memory since its much quicker. After applying the patches, applix opened in less than 5 seconds and displayed the powerpoint slides in another few seconds. SO5 percolated the first time and then opened the slideshow in a much nicer display. We all settled on applix 4.4.1 overall. Quicker, etc. I like SO5 but it needs some brute system to run it effectively.
