I just updated to 2.0, and let me say:
It's freaking awesome.

It depends on the platform, and you always order a CD you know.

Damn right, because operating system bloat is directly proportional to the size of the OpenOffice.org packages for that OS.

My guess is that they don't use the same compression techniques.


PS: Windows is bloated.

Well the Windows package is smaller than the Mac OS one so by your logic this means that Mac OS is more bloated than Windows.

However you could (if you want to) argue that Windows is superiour as Windows OpenOffice is smaller as Windows has a more comprehensive API so the developers don't have to write as much code.

But I do admit this is complete bullshit, the size of a piece of software bares no relation to whether the OS it's designed for is bloated of not.

Lastly I was joking in the first place as the :D  smilie should indicate. :rolleyes:

I knew you didn't really believe that Mac OS X is more bloated than Windows (yea, right), and I was being sarcastic in my first sentence.

Coding is not the issue here, rather, it's the fact that Windows binary files, are, for some reason, much smaller than those for other OSs.  Although, the difference isn't usually as much as this.  It could be that 2.0 for Mac is still X11 native and OS X is missing a lot of that sort of stuff.

When 1.1.3 came out, I gave it a try and almost immediately went back to using Office XP. Since using 2.0, I have no plans of going back to MS Office again. If you're looking a free alternative to MS Office, OO.org 2.0 is definetly the way to go.

I've used it since 1.1.2 because my PC came with the shitware commonly known as MS Works and my old Office 97 CD is broken and I certainly wasn't going to buy the latest version. In my oppinion OO 1.1.5 wasn't as good as MS Office but 2.0 is at least equal to MS Office 2000 (I haven't used any newer version) even though it does lack in some ways as does MS Office.

What did you dislike about OO 1.1.3?

I liked 1.1.4 and 1.1.5 better than 2.0 . Why ?

Cuz 2.0 crashes too often, 1.1.5 never crashed on my system, but I still use 2.0, there's no point in going backwards.
