Ive never found MS Office to be bloated. But then all Ive needed is
Word, Excel and Outlook. Im currently running Those three MS products
under Crossover & Ubuntu 9.04, and found that they are only 197mb
install, whereas OO is roundabout the 350-400mb size, and OO doesnt
include email which is extra (Evolution). Plus MS runs faster under
Crossover compared to the OO alternatives, by a minimum of at least 4
seconds.
Ive never heard of anti-aliasing (thingy) and my post is probably
pointless and not worth reading. MS in the context of what your
discussing probably is bloated. But I wanted to point out that MS
Office, in the general scheme of things, is actually better than OO, if
you are just looking for Word and Excel. But then everything has its
good points, and bad points too.
Now your all wondering whether 4 seconds is worth it, but then that
depends on your sex, and what your minds are thinking of at the
time. :-)))))
