primarily, my argument is that I have people breathing down my neck to
deply openoffice on 32meg systems, and I genuinly would like to know what
exactly is percieved as being so damn amazing about it that people are
convinced that this 40 minute startup time is acceptable

therefore, it was the first random thing I picked out that pissed me off
about oopenoffice - perhaps I should have felt the need to writ ethe 50
page manifesto ;)
