You may have seen Gorge Ou's latest attack on OOo / OpenDocument http://blogs.zdnet.com/Ou/?p=196 Possibly he's hoping to attract the same amount of publicity that he managed with his earler pop at OOo performance: http://blogs.zdnet.com/Ou/?p=119 although I guess the novelty value is now starting to wear thin.
At the time of George's first article I wrote a 'so what?' response, which I think is still relevant: http://www.mealldubh.org/index.php/2005/10/31/this-pig-does-fly This is not to say OOo engineers are complacent about performance - in my experience 'finding a better way to do something' is one of the main motivators for open-source hackers. See http://www.vnunet.com/vnunet/news/2153630/openoffice-zooms-lagging But for the vast majority of users, OOo performance today is more than fit for purpose. One of the joys of open-source, but bad news for journalists, is that we no longer need 'experts' who get privileged (i.e. free) copies of software which they then 'review' on behalf of lesser mortals. If anyone wants to know about OpenOffie.org, they can try it out. Tens of millions have, and have liked what they have got. It's not even "try before you buy" - it's "try and watch it fly".
