Office uses more, but thats because it includes more fonts, more templates, more clipart and the likes – want to compare like with like, compare the different components size rather than just a point blank “it takes more” whilst neglecting that Office 2007 delivers more. If software bloat is an issue for you, you should look into SoftMaker Office or GobeProductive, both of which kick MS Office and OpenOffice’s ass when it comes to size and speed. That hardly qualifies as bloated compared to any MS Office version above ’97. On Windows, OpenOffice is a 125-or-so MB download, and with the whole enchilada installed, it only takes around 250 MB of space.

I agree with you about OpenOffice being slow compared to MS Office, but I disagree with everything else.Īnd the worse part the so-called ‘breaking up’ of was meant to fix it sitting at 2.1 ant is still a nightmare.
