It's very true that 80% of people only use 20% of the program. The problem is that my 20% is not your 20%. Now, if you could do in-depth tracking of thousands of random users, you might be able to isolate a certain set of features that almost nobody uses. Then those features could be removed if doing so would make enough difference (in performance or in resources used) to make it worth the effort.

Hi :)
I really like that idea a lot but i have been told it's unfeasable.  Even if we could clearly 
identify that 20% it would be tricky to slim the apps down that way.

If you were able to ring-fence about 20% of the features of MS Office then about 80% of users never 
stray outside that.  From what i see it's more like about 100% of users.  Most users don't even use 
all of that 20%.
I hope this isn't hijacking the thread, and if so, /please /say so, and I'll repost this in a new 
thread.

The fact that 20% of the features of MS Office (and by implication, LO and OO.o) used almost 
exclusively by some 80% of the users suggests to me that OO.o should identify that 20% of features 
and modularize OO.o or LO or what have you to include that 20% and make the other 80% of the 
features available as extensions.

I'd like comments on this idea.
