Aqua OpenOffice.org v2.0 Cancelled
Ant writes "According to MacSlash's story, a recent post on OpenOffice.org said no Mac OS X work has been done since 2003 and that there are no longer any plans for an Aqua version 'due to various licensing, political, and fundamental engineering difficulties'. :("
Open Source fail it? That's unpossible?!
If you find this post offensive, don't read it! THINK ABOUT YOUR BREATHING! I am what I am because of how apes behave.
dude your homepage is scary
It's not native to Aqua and it shows. Mac people like polished apps
Me: "Check out this cool new Open Source iPod app. It's on Linux and Windows too, I think."
Them: "Neat. It does a lot more than iTunes. Flac and Ogg transcoding? Cool. Syncing to multiple machines? Wicked. Built-in web server to browse/share my collection online? Awesome. Wish I could use it too."
Me: "Hey, here's the OSX version. You can use it!"
Them: "Hmmm. The buttons look crappier than iTunes. Scroll bars look weird. I'll keep using iTunes, thanks."
How expensive is Apple's PowerPC?
I bought a whole skid of PowerPC Macintoshes (beige case) at auction last summer for a dollar.
"What's the frequency Kenneth?"
Surely you mean the other way round? That would be an upgrade.

I had been using an ancient version of MS Office on System 9 under OSX. I decided it was time to move forward, but really did not want to support Microsoft. So, I installed OpenOffice and gave it a try.
In no time at all my Office needs were resolved. OpenOffice ran like such an ugly slug that it overcame all my Microsoft objections. I immediately bought MS Office for OSX. Without the OpenOffice experience I could never have been happy buying a Microsoft product.
Thank you, OpenOffice team, for peace of mind.
I fucking hate you, dude.
