At the start of the process you would likely have to add those core 
120MB to the 19 for writer, the 11 for Impress and the 24 for Calc, 
meaning that you have 414 MB installed instead of just 174MB for 
the whole Suite. I know that today hard disks are cheap and have at 
least 300GB or on desktops 500 or much more likely 1TB but again 
there are still company and home PCs out there which aren't up to 
date and on which 414MB compared to 174MB are significant. This 
calculation is based on your informations I don't have Windows here 
and so I cannot verify if current LibO only is 174MB under Windows.
