What "really" is the difference between OpenOffice.org and Oxygen Office Professional?

Is it the included templates? Gallery and Clipart Packs? and other accessories?

All these are found as add-ons to OpenOffice.org at the following Source Forge link: http://sourceforge.net/projects/ooop/files <http://sourceforge.net/projects/ooop/files/> under Parts and Extension options listings.

I once used Oxygen Office, but I switched back to OpenOffice.org, since then OOo was a newer version and I wanted the updated stuff. Also I realized that I had all the same stuff with OOo as I did with Oxygen by just downloading all the add-on files, etc., as shown in the Extension pages of the OOo web site http://extensions.services.openoffice.org/ ,
or now that is listed in the sourceforge.net page shown above.

Then there is a question of "added fonts". How many are listed/installed with Oxygen Office that are not installed with OpenOffice.org? Well I have over 150,000 fonts [over 9 gig] on my data "partition" of my hard drive, so I do not know if those included fonts are any different than the ones I already have, and maybe I even have those exact fonts as well. Most of the serif and san-serif fonts that say they are different that everyone else's fonts, do not look "much" different, or not at all different that hundreds of other serif or san-serif fonts. I was given a full set of Adobe fonts to use on a large project, and I later found free fonts that looked so much alike Adobe's that no one I showed the test pages, of Adobe fonts side-by-side with the free fonts, could tell the difference between them. So the included fonts can be found elsewhere if needed. I only install needed fonts anyways [ 200 - 400 fonts for the various projects I had/have ], so I do not like to install by default any more fonts, even if they are included as "extra fonts" with the software.

So do we really "need" to uninstall OpenOffice.org 3.2.1 and install Oxygen Office Professional 3.2.1? What do you really get with Oxygen Office that you do not get, or can add on to, OpenOffice.org with the
same version number [ like version 3.2.1 ]?

I run 64-bit Linux. Is there any difference with the 32-bit and/or 64-bit Linux versions?
How about 32/64-bit Windows versions?
