Hi :) Hmmm, pointless bickering amongst ourselves leaves the way clear for the real competition. "The Popular People's Front". With so many of people still in both communities it is really ridiculous to compete against each other like that. Gentle joshing is fine but politicing is pointless. Regards from Tom :)

Well, probably because the cynic in me knows that someone in the AOO camp released a statement about AOO 3.4 essentially saying that it was much faster (by a factor of x, y, z) than LO, and both projects seem to be content to knock each other about at the slightest occasion (sighs in disbelief). I have personally always hated the spin that this project has attempted to put on things to make it sound more attractive than the "competition" - it was the same thing while OOo was ongoing. Like Andreas, I generally tend to ignore announcements like that and prefer factual analysis, but how often is software tested and statistically significant results given ? errmm.... On my Linux box, with less than one Gig of ram and an old 5400 rpm harddisk, everything is slow !!!! ;-) On my Macbook, it depends. So basically, YMMV - your mileage may vary.
