Linux becoming the new Windows

My jaw hit the floor today when I read this: OpenOffice gets pre-load, update notification . I’m all for applications running/loading faster, but not pre-loading apps is one of the main things I like about about non-Windows operating systems. It looks like the bloating of Linux continues, which is a shame. (Yes, there are distro’s that are fighting this, but they don’t get enough press like the big guys do.)

Repeat after me: small, light, tight.

Damn. I hope that it’s possible to turn that feature off.
