OpenOffice gaining on MSOffice?

[Robert G. (Doc) Savage]

A new rpm appeared in the Fedora development tree yesterday which has to
be the largest I've ever seen posted:

openoffice.org-i18n-1.1.2-2.i386.rpm 124807302 July 31, 2004 09:54:00

This is 2/3 larger than the 1.1.1-6 version in FC3t1. If it's not a
debug version, it must contain something really huge, like support for
every possible character in the UTF-8 specification.

This is only the i18n files, as there's been a greater split for
additional language files. Relevant changelogs are:

openoffice.org-1.1.2-2
----------------------
* Fri Jul 30 2004 Dan Williams  1.1.2-2

- Finer grained split of additional language files

And much larger than the tarball of the same release:

80087947 May 28 12:19  incoming/OOo_1.1.2_LinuxIntel_install.tar.gz

Issent the prelinket programs bigger than non prelinket?
But it runs faster when it is loaded.
