A faster Open Office version
In the previous post, I mentioned Open Office 3.0 (OO). One complaint that has been lodged against OO is that it is bloated and slow. For more speed, there is a variant of OO called Go-oo. Here is a report from Lifehacker:
Free application Go-oo is a fork of the popular Microsoft Office alternative OpenOffice.org with a focus on improved speed and performance. If you’ve ever used OpenOffice.org, Go-oo’s load speed may blow your mind the first time you launch it, and it maintains a relatively small footprint while you’re using it. The actual look and feel of Go-oo is the same as OpenOffice.org because it’s essentially the same application (it’s even still called OpenOffice.org). It is, however, stripped of some of the new features of OpenOffice.org 3.0.
Incidentally, here is the link for the Lifehacker review of the full OO.
Added later: And here’s a review at Computerworld by Preston Gralla, who asks, Why buy Microsoft Office?
