    Open Office on the Mac is a joke. It runs under X and looks like crap.

    Fair enough, even if the comment was trollish. The article aims to help make it less of a joke, but you really have to ask yourself this-

    There are a lot of talented mac progammers working on all sorts of cute but worthless apps, like 5 billion "download songs off your iPod" programs. The OpenOffice team has repeatedly asked for volunteers to help with the port to Aqua. There are a lot of people who really don't like Microsoft.

    So why is it that OpenOffice for Aqua is so far off? Come on people- stop bitching, step up to the plate!
