Hmm, not so sure. This laptop's running at 266MHz with 192MB of memory and
Openoffice under Linux really struggles[1]; I could believe that a 300MHz
machine saddled with the extra baggage of Windows could have problems.
[1] It copes if I don't run anything else other than the desktop environment -
but for 'typical' usage where I might have a usenet client or web browser or
Thunderbird open it has real issues.

my Tandy 200 starts one heckuva lot faster at 2.4Mhz than
OpenOffice on my 2.4 GHz.
