As others have mentioned, OOo has to check a lot more things than MS
Office does due to the fact that it *is* a multi-platform office suite.
If MS Office were a multi-platform office suite, I suspect that it would
take just as long, or longer to start.
You'd think that sort of thing could be determined at install and
appropriate adjustments made then.
For example, why would a Windows version have to check to determine what
OS it's running on every time it's run? Is there any chance it would
suddenly find itself on Linux or Mac?
That was my thought also, when I read this particular reason for OOo's
slowness.
Is this really true? That every time OOo starts, it has to do all of
this hunting around to figure out what operating system it has been
installed on? I'm not a programmer, but that seems quite bizarre.
