What are the differences between Ximian's OO and the standard Sun OO? I hardly ever use OO, so I don't need a giant office package but would like something compatible with MS's stuff. Is Novell's Ximian's more light-weight?
As for which one to grab is the oo-bin or oo-ximian-bin the source that gets compiled during emerge and is oo the prebuilt faster install less optimized one?

Thanks,
Nick
