Yeah, I find it rather sickening: MS Office (Word) running in Wine starts AGES 
before OO even gets around to show the stupid (because it gets in the way) 
banner. On my laptop startup times are on the order of 5 seconds for Word, 21 
for OpenOffice on first launch, 3 vs 10 or so on subsecuent launches. My memory 
is a bit rusty on details of actual seconds but the order of magintude is the 
key here.

Dunno, kudos to Wine folks I guess.. if an "emulated" application starts up and 
runs faster than a "native" one... what can I say :-/
