OpenOffice.org for Mac Delayed Two Years

Posted by pudge on from the gnashing-of-teeth dept.

Athyra writes "According to their Mac porting page, OpenOffice.org will not release a native version of their software for Mac OS X (not counting the X11 version) until 2006. According to the project timeline, no real development can happen again until OpenOffice.org 2.0 hits Windows, Linux, and Solaris in 2005. Looks like Microsoft's got a cozy ride ahead on the Mac side of things for a while."

    Appleworks? I dont want to get all TROLLY TROLLY, but this is less of a wah wah wah no OpenOffice and a lot more of a wah wah no free word processor. Obviously, no one really feels GOOD about running MS Office on their mac. While I can certainly understand wanting openoffice on the Mac, let's not start crowing about how no good word processor/office suites are available AT ALL.
