I'm using OOo 2.0 and i can load any document within 10 sec. (centrino 1.6 XP SP2) I'v tried also 1MB word doc (80 pages), with OpenOffice and I can open doc format in 4 sec, when I save it as.odt, I can open it also in 4 sec, as xml OpenOffice need 3 min. OK , I don't care. At first, I think they will improve processing xml documents, but with crossplatform OpenOffice I can work with they own format or directly with MS formats.
in this very old article GPL vs BSD you can get answer. And i think that he is right. "Which you choose depends on what you need and what you value. There's nothing more to it than that."
does it make sense ? and power usage ? Just some more Watts ? I think that "smart" way is the right one.
