The OpenOffice Project has sent a letter to Michael Dell, showering praise on Dell's chairman and CEO and asking him to consider pre-loading OpenOffice onto PCs. The letter is the result of a flood of requests on Dell's online suggestion box, IdeaStorm, for Dell PCs pre-loaded with both Linux operating systems and the open-source suite of desktop productivity applications. John McCreesh, marketing project lead for OpenOffice.org, also asked Dell to consider making a financial contribution to the software's development.

I've never had this problem when sharing Word files between Windows and Mac OS X. On the other hand, Word documents have a tendency to show up with strange formating in NeoOffice and the Word documents it saves have don't look like they should (i.e. they look different in NeoOffice and MS Word).
If only NeoOffice would produce perfect results, that may excuse the sluggish performance. Sadly, it doesn't.
