Re: [libreoffice-users] LibreOffice pause during startup

Hi :)
Errr, i think the paging file = pagefile.sys?  Probably changed name in Vista and Win7.  The 
pagefile.sys used to be the name of the Windows virtual memory.  

The registry is something completely different that MS kept trying to get rid of but couldn't in 
order to retain backwards compatibility with older programs that may need to be installed on newer 
systems.  

Gnu&Linux routinely throws out garbage once it has stopped being useful.  Occasionally that means 
upgrading a few sub-packages in order to keep a few main programs working but then everything is 
OpenSource so it's reasonably easy for people to go in and do that without necessarily having to 
contact the organisation that owns the copyright.  Often a few changes to one sub-package will fix 
it for all programs.  

Consequentaly Gnu&Linux has managed to retain greater backwards compatibility with both hardware 
and software as it works on smaller and lighter systems while Windows programs, drivers and other 
packages have often needed complete re-writes due to trivial issues.  

I really hope there hasn't been a post about security or antivirus in the last few days!!  Lol

Tom :)

 If there is no registry or temporary paging system within the OS then
 how does that work? It is a curiosity within itself 
:D
