These tests come up from time to time and should always be seen in perspective. Both use two different models. Microsoft Office ================ 1. Starts one application at a time 2. Works on Microsoft Windows OpenOffice.org ============== 1. Loads the core component to run all applications when the first is loaded. Better integration between components is the desired objective. 2. Is multi-platform (Windows, Mac, Linux, and Solaris) which includes loading the java core for some aspects to run. Java itself is multi platform. A comparison of resources used when copying and pasting from Excel to Word, versus Calc to Writer on Windows, Mac, and Linux would also be useful. I'm not saying OO.o would be faster than MSOffice but I feel it would be a much closer contest. Oh, does MSOffice 2007 work on WINE on Linux yet? -- Michael Linux: The OS people choose without $200,000,000 of persuasion. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
