Writer - 80% Calc - 18% Impress - 1% Base - well, I'd rather use a full RDBMS, if I need an interface I'll write one. Base/MS-Access has no use for me. Though I will probably use Base to access some old Access MDB's I have laying around from years ago. Math - I don't do formulas, so no. Draw - haven't used it yet I mostly do spreadsheets, documents, and some occasional presentation slides. > > > > Do you use the quick starter? > > > > I don't use the quick starter. > Do not use Quickstarter because the computers are fast enough > that it's not necessary. +100. I turn off all these things. I also review the start-up stuff on my Windows systems every now and again and remove anything I do not know and anything I think is unnecessary - even if it doesn't have a sys-tray icon. Removing this would be one more step for the good of all software users. It is never necessary to pre-load a program so as to make users _think_ (perception) that the software loads faster than it really does. If such steps are necessary, then the codebase needs to be reworked to actually _be_ faster. I use OOo (for now) at home exclusively; though I do have to use in conjunction to MS Office at work; at least for converting DOC files from ODF. I do the conversion via OOWriter, but then have to go clean-up the cross-references, etc. in Word to ensure everything is correct.
