First look at OpenOffice.org 3.0

NEW OFFICE

Author(s): DMITRI POPOV

The previous major releases of OpenOffice.org didn’t disappoint, so hopes are high for the upcoming version 3.0 of one of the most important open source applications around. We look at what mouth-watering goodies the new version has to offer.

Compatiability

Well I'd just like to add one more thing, something which should encourage Everyone to use it - you can get it as a Portable Application and put it on a USB - I use a 2GB stick for my work, and carry Office and Gimp portably, so I can operate on every Windows computer. When people ask why, I tell them it's easier to use (I find Word easier for making up documents as I have to make worksheets, drag pictures in there. I generally export them as PDF once made, because that keeps the file size Very reasonable - a 9MB word file opened in office can often save as a 600kb PDF file...)

Microsoft Word could never go onto USB, and isn't welcome in any civilised computing environment.
