Open Office 4.0 is BLOAT

YUP.

Not using this version…

Put it on over the weekend, when there was nobody around to use the internet connection. It’s total bloat.

Left 300+ entries in the startup directory after I’d got rid of it.

God knows how many there were when it was fully installed.

upshot

Increasing startup times by over 200%, the new 4.0 version of Open Office is nothing to get excited about. Quite the opposite, reach for your slippers and put the kettle on whilst you wait for the ‘puter to boot up.

Avoid.
