DenialS writes: "Congratulations to the OpenOffice.org team! Version 1.0 of the open office suite has been released. I'm downloading it now; I've had good luck with the previous stable builds. Release notes haven't been posted yet, so I can't say what the major differences are between 1.0 and the previous stable build, 641d, but I'm looking forware to finding out!"
shouldn't that be "is is not not"?
sorry, could not resist.

Have you read the moderator guidelines? Well, have you, PUNK? (and I want a Karma: Gnarly option)
It just seems that way because it's so slow
I was just about to make fun of you for taking 18 months tweaking spreadsheets when there's a new Office around, when I read your [1]. *gulp* You use MS Office for "high-accuracy nuclear bomb simulations"? Take your time!

In what way does it not?
Note he said he "looked at" OO - that's exactly what he did, he looked at it, saw the price and thought, nah, that can't be good.

Yes, but does it fully support VBA Macro Viruses?
If not, it doesn't truly replicate the "Microsoft Experience."
(Note to moderators: Laugh, it's funny!)

I'm sure if you ask Microsoft nicely, they'll include it in their next SP for Office.
Or...maybe not.
I haven't had anything to do with OpenOffice so far. I just now decide for the first time to go there and download it, turns out it's now 1.0 and it's been Slashdotted.
Thanks to Slashdot for the links.
My god man you are still using Word 2000? you are missing out on the Office XP features such as typing assumptions and mind reader.. if you accidently type microsoft sucks it goes ahead and fixes it for you by replacing sucks with "is the beat" and changes complaint to enjoyed the feature
I was reading the news on the Open Office site, and noticed the "Bugs and Issues" link. I clicked on it, and it gave me the following message: "Error occurred while accessing content."
;)
I'm still going to grab the new version, but I'm not sure it's a good sign that their bug list has bugs
Isn't it cool how well Excel parallelizes to take advantage of supercomputer type architectures? I find it amazingly easy to do all of my simulations, from whole-cell modelling to nuclear explosions on foreign planets, on my Beowulf with WINE and Office XP.
As my father lik@(munch munch)...
For high-accuracy nuclear bomb simulations, particle interactions, that sort of thing.
Whoever sold Excel to you may have violated the M$ EULA...

Does this support macro viruses in word processing documents and spreadsheets?
