The preloading module would be osa.exe, right ? I have disabled it completely.
I tested how many seconds, for example, Word 2003 took to open.... and then, on another Windows XP installation(another logical unit) I launched a program of OpenOffice Suite, as I explained before. However, even if Office 2003 installed something end executed it on Windows boot without permission and completely hide for user, I should see a bit slow down during the XP boot itself , right ?? But it is not so. Moreover, I can assure you that the system was not doing anything during an Office(Open or Microsoft 's one) program loading :-) Believe me.

Because Microsoft pre-load it on Windows when you start your computer. (I think that this can be disabled). Most Linux systems d o not yet pre-load, but some do : OpenSuSE being one. If you run one which does you will find the loading time for OOo down to a few seconds ( depending on what else your system is doing).
