The people who run Microsoft habitually "sabotage" competitors - where it's
by the default setting to NOT recognise non NTFS partitions, or not allow
you to read or write from non NTFS partions - and anything that competes
with their cash cow - the always in upgrade mode "MS OFFICE" - unless it's
really a crap go no where program, they do seem to have a habit of kind of
making it that much more of a crap fest to use and work with.

Has anyone noticed this?
I have two machines - both Toshiba, one a Satellite L40 with duo core twin
processors @ 1.6 GHz running Windows 7 SP1, the other a Netbook NB100 with
one processor @ 1.6 GHz running Ubuntu 10.04 LTS.
Both machines have 2GB RAM.
Both machines running LO 3.4.3, with the memory option in both instances
set at 132 MB for LO and 32 MB per object. Quickstarter is NOT enabled on
either.
Observed results:

        Windows 7                                   Ubuntu
Opening blank Calc document from Calc icon:       13 secs
                         7 secs

Opening an identical Calc document                        30 secs
                                18 secs
(by double-clicking the document)
If I open the xlsx version of this file in Excel 2007, the time is 5 secs -
given that Excel loads a bit into the OS on startup and even though the xlsx
file is 20% larger than the ods file.
Is this a problem with the compiling of the Windows version, or is this a
cynical ploy by MS to ensure that people choose MS Office over third-party
office suites? Anyone had any such experience with other Office suites?
