OpenOffice.org 2.0 was released, which has new
features like better MS-Office compatibility, an Access-like program and a more. Here is a review
of it with screenshots and how it performs. It's work in progress, maybe not recomended for production sites, but it is a good sample of what is coming."

I don't read your sig, why do you read mine?
30 minutes after upgrading to Open Office 1.1.3...
Guess I'll try and update Thunderbird so the next release hits the servers this afternoon.

Don't use this build! I downloaded it, instantly all my programs were segfaulting. I got bus errors all over the place, my RAID arrays are failing, and my ethernet device will only work in half-duplex now. I advise everyone to wait until the final release, unless you want to have ECC errors with your RAM, like I do now.

That's a moray.

It's a PRE-RELEASE build, of a FREE package. WTF do you want with it, nuts and a cherry?

RTFJ.
No, I'm pretty sure the parent is correct. The oo people obviously are horrible UI programmers (being open source programmers and all) and this is really a genuine effort at an updated splash logo. In fact I'd go as far as to say that's probably what we'll being seeing in Feb or Mar. when it goes 2.0.
I commend the parent for catching this fault and letting the world know that all of those millions of lines of code are cheapened by a stupid mspaint splash logo in preview release. The open source world needs more UI experts like him to show us our faults and where we need to focus our attentions to "make it" in the real world.
What I would like to know is when does Microsoft Office get better OpenOffice support?
But when will they ever have native OS X support?
When the enthalpy of Satan's domain is reduced to the point where dihydrogen oxide becomes solid, perhaps?
Seriously, I don't know. But do you really think that asking a subset of Slashdot is going to be any more informative than the officially maintained FAQs?

* Loved the new interface, it is very clean and much more pleasant to use than v1.
..when you read the above as "more pleasant to use than vi."

Maybe they just called it "Access-like" because it was still unreliable and buggy.
