After spending an entire ITEC exposition extolling the virtues of OOo, this crops up to claim that OOo has memory usage issues and very slow startup times.
I'll admit that I haven't used M$ Office all that much, but I don't seem to notice a significant time period between running OOo and starting to write a document or create a spreadsheet.
Has anyone else who uses both noticed the kind of lag on OOo that the article author describes?
The Slashdot replies also go into the point that most people have M$ Office already, legally or illegally, so we can't talk "free" without running up against all the illegal copies out there which were also, technically, "free".
One Slashdot reply says that Longhorn will make the "free" case for OOo by preventing people from running illegal copies of M$ software. Does anyone know about this in more detail?
