Haven’t they done preloading for ages already?
Not for Word specifically, I think.
This really doesn’t make sense. It’s just a word processor! It doesn’t do anything different than a word processor from 30 years ago for 99% of what 99% of people use it for. And really, the ones we used on DOS and loaded from a floppy disk a decade before that still did most of those things. If a modern high-end machine needs to preload a word processor, then it’s doing something very wrong.
By comparison I just used a stopwatch to time loading LibreOffice Writer, and it loaded to a usable state in less than 3 seconds. I couldn’t click the stopwatch fast enough to get the exact time.
