In that case, you are better off using Windows.
In my case, there is no need to use it.

OpenOffice loads faster than Microsoft Office 2003 (Word) did. Maybe because I'm using less resources or something. Maybe I just forgot how long it took to start. Everything seems to be running fine for me.

OpenOffice loads a lot more quickly than Word on the university cluster machines. I haven't had Word on my computers for 8ish years, so I don't know how the speed compares on a well maintained machine.

On every machine I've ever used, Microsoft word loads somewhere between instantaneously and a few seconds while OpenOffice has taken anywhere from 10s to 30s.

I tried OpenOffice once... It sucked...
And if I'd try it again now, it would suck even more because I have Office 2007 now, which totally owns... Powerpoint, Word and Excel's interface was completly redone, and everything is so much nicer...

This topic has gone astray!
Signatures -> Linux > Windows -> Difference between openoffice and word.
