And no, I don't want no friggin' Quick Launch to waste memory when I don't need the office apps!
What do you think Windows does? Have you looked in C:\Windows\Prefetch lately?

Why OpenOffice.org Failed - and What to Do About It (ComputerWorld UK)

I've used both OpenOffice 2.x/3.x and MS Office 2007 extensively. I Prefer MS Office 2007 for it's lower resource utilization (memory and CPU), and better font rasterization (clear type support, I have one of those new-fangled LCD displays). I also personally love the ribon interface (after unlearning the old interface) and can't wait until Visio is updated to use it as well ;p
