I don't know the details. However, you have to remember
that since MS
controls both the OS and app, it's easy for them to do
things that are
unavailable to others. An example of this came out several
years ago
with Borland. They tried to find out why MS apps out
performed their
own. They found that MS apps used secret API that were
unavailable to
those from competitors. MS has used other tricks over the
years, to
put competitors at a disadvantage. This appears to be
happening again
with Vista and security apps from Symantec and others.
As long as MS controls both the OS and apps, there will never be a
level playing field.
Another reason to switch to Linux, I suppose...
Can we stop this propaganda? It has absolutely no value to anybody and
just pollutes inboxes.
If you can explain why MSO on Windows starts faster than OO on Linux
(where OO can use all the Linux magic) - please share.
Once OO is loaded to shmfs on ram, all subsequent loads of OO is almost
instantaneous. I don't understand where you are getting this "MSO on
Windows starts faster than OO in Linux" stuff from. I tested it on my
2.5 year old machine and OO takes about 2 seconds to load.
Otherwise we have
to assume that MS developers can squeeze better startup performance out
of hardware.
this is "snakes on a plane" ;-)
