Really, I don't think anyone that has used MS Word 2007 would be surprised by those results. What I do find interesting is something that isn't addressed directly in the review. MS Word 2007 functions at approximately the same speed as OOo Writer. I only find that interesting because that is one of (but not the only) chief complaints I hear when people complain about OOo is how much slower it is than MS Office.
