On the PC I mainly use Office 2007 for my work, but on the Mac I haven’t invested in an office suite like iWork or Office as of yet. For the past couple of years I been a big user of NeoOffice, it’s a great alternative to something like Microsoft Office. OpenOffice was available for OS X also, but required X11 which was something I personally didn’t want to have to use.
OpenOffice.org 3 will be the first version which doesn’t require X11 to run, and they have a beta available for the public. That was enough for me to go and grab the download as soon as possible. I have been using it only for a couple of days now, so I’m not prepared to write any type of preview for it. I just wanted to help spread the word and get people to try it, and help submit any issues or feedback to help the development.
