OpenOffice.org 3 is awesome!
- Published May 15th, 2008 in Free Software
After having used it for over a week, I must conclude that OpenOffice.org 3 beta is quite an achievement. It’s faster, it now sports an Aqua interface (lovely for us, Mac OS X users), it’s simple yet beautiful. It’s more solid than ever before and comes with a full range of functionalities that the common user will certainly put to good use.
It still doesn’t grasp to the extent of Microsoft Office’s plethora of functionality, but it’s definitely more than enough for the average Joe. Don’t expect complex financial plugins to be available, but you’re welcome to start programming your own. It’s still a remarkable achievement in the Free Software world.
Congratulations to Sun and to the OpenOffice.org team.
NeoOffice UI is way better
