Good day, We are not the support team of OpenOffice.org. This is the users list of OpenOffice.org, where we try to help one another with questions and problems concerning OOo. You can take a look or contact people at the marketing project of OOo http://marketing.openoffice.org/index.html and take a look at the migration documentation http://why.openoffice.org/ The study you quote is rather old (2005) and most of all biased. One of the main differences between MS Office and OpenOffice.org is that since MS Office is native, or rather inbedded, in Windows, a lot of elements it uses are already loaded when you start up Windows and don't count as elements that have to be loaded when you start MS Office. Other elements of response can already be found in one of the links at the bottom of the article you quote: http://blogs.techrepublic.com.com/Ou/?p=104 Please don't cross post to different lists at OpenOffice.org (users, discuss, etc.) -- Guy using dutch OOo 2.3 m221 on a iMac Intel DualCore Tiger and brazilian OOo 2.3 RC 3 on a G4 PPC Powerbook Tiger -- please reply only to [email protected] -- Dodoes can't afford to have headaches
