sander writes "OpenOffice.org 1.1.0 has finally been released (after 5 release candidates -- should make it pretty sweet). The announcement is here, there is a really nice features page and a long list of mirrors carrying the goodies." OO.org releases for languages other than English should be here soon, too.

Microsoft rules, opensource drools.

So do slashbots. Lockstep! March! One, two, three, four. New distro is out. Praise it, bash MS! Good doggy. Have an OGG, it sucks more than MP3, but you still like it better, just like the other doggy marchers.

Please tell me why I, along with the rest of the Microsoft Office using population of the world, should honestly give a shit?

Thanks in advance,

I can write a much less bloated application that does exactly the same job. Here, have it:
int main(){ int* a = 0; *a = 0; return 0; }
What a piece of crap.

Don't get me wrong - I think OpenOffice is a brilliant product and will be pushing it very hard in my country.

I hope your country is Iraq. Or France. Those are about the only two countries I'd wish this pos software on.

Hell, maybe not Iraq even.

Open Office starts of SO SLOWLY...

How slow is it?

I started loading it when 1.0 came out, and it finished today!

I smoke pot, as do MILLIONS of other Americans.

It's deadbeats like you that are running this country into the ground. I hope you get lung cancer and die, or AIDs from the dirty needles you will graduate to in the near future. Becuase if you don't, it will be my tax dollars to put your lazy ass through rehab, and I'm tired of paying for that bullshit.

And John Ashcroft doesn't have much say over individual state laws, which is where selling drug pies would fall. Are you really that naive?

nah, you're probably just high and can't make sense of anything.

How finished is it... by Nailer · 2003-10-01 11:44 · Score: 0, Flamebait

If there's no packages? Its a great application, but there's no way you'd want to be tasked with having to install, upgrade and maintain OpenOffice is a manner unlike very other application on your systems.

It surprising they leave this task to third parties in this day and age, and prefer maintaining their old install system when its so painful to use. I'd be willing to help out but the non autoconf install process makes this quite difficult...
