I concur... Openoffice is bloatware of the highest order. If I could be bothered to get an older version of Office working on wine I would - but I don't use office suites enough to do so. It's a shame, really, that Sun decided to go down the bloated route, because the early versions of Openoffice were really quite pleasant to use; I dread to click on a ".doc" attachment in an e-mail because I know the machine will whirr and click for ages before I actually get to see it.
