I thought I'd have a look at OpenOffice - lots of people have been talking about it, and I've made my love of Word known. Well - if you like slow and bloated, you'll love OpenOffice. I hadn't used it since I did some Word to PDF conversions the other day - and I'd rebooted since. Yet there was OpenOffice, insisting on chewing 50 MB. Sheesh. Meanwhile, starting Word takes a fraction of the time and consumes 1/5th the memory. Color me unimpressed...
