"Actually, that's not really true."
No. It's true, really. In Microsoft Windows Sun offers an OpenOffice.org installer where you can choose which components you want to install. You don't need to install the whole OpenOffice.org suite.
But in Linux the official Sun version forces you to install the whole OpenOffice.org suite -- you can't just pick the components you want. Go-OO makes it possible to only install only the components you really want and nothing else. If you want to install only the writer component in Go-OO, you can do it without installing the spreadsheet or the presentation component.
That's a rather good reason to choose Go-OO instead of the official Sun version in Linux.
