Hiya all

Just thought I would chuck in my two cents as well, I also run OOo on 
FreeBSD, and I have it on a windows machine - there seems to be a large 
performance diff there too, maybe it's the versions I am running, and 
the PC's are pretty outdated (both P2's but the BSD box has 256 RAM, and 
the doze box only has 64 - still noticebly faster.) Love OOo, I find it 
to be far superior to MS (specially as the new veresion opens Office XP 
with little or no loss of formatting, which seems to be one nobody else 
has been able to do) great for a business environment, not knocking it 
one bit, hoping this info may be of value to someone.
