George Ou compares Microsoft Office 2007 to OpenOffice 2.2 in memory and CPU usage using the OOXML and ODF file formats. The conclusion according to Ou: "We can see that the OpenOffice.org ODF XML parser (while vastly improved) is still about 5 times slower than Microsoft's OOXML parser. OpenOffice.org also seems to consume nearly 4 times the amount of RAM to hold the same data. While OpenOffice.org continues to have fewer features than Microsoft Office, it continues to consume far more resources than Microsoft."

"OpenOffice seems to be a dead end. It's not a free software project, it's a proprietary application suite that happens to be free software. It doesn't have the DNA of the community baked into it, and that's why it doesn't operate like a free software application."
Would you have said the same about Mozilla in 1999/2000 ?
If so, you should give OO more time to fit into the community. And for anyone that replies with "it's had years already", give it more...
