Alternatives To Office For Mac OS X

Posted by Zonk on from the anything-but-clippy dept.

imatt writes "From eWeek's article on MS Office Alternatives for Mac: 'Major milestones were recently announced for two Mac OS X-compatible software suites that could provide an alternative to the near-ubiquitous Microsoft Office...NeoOffice/J uses a standard Mac OS X installer, presents native Aqua menus, does not require Mac OS X users to install and use X11 software, uses Mac OS X fonts and has native printing support.' Most [options] seem to be open source, which is good for the programming community and better for the Apple user."

    Well, that's an improvement, I guess. I'm a poor college student; I use Linux because I couldn't afford another Windows license when it last crashed completely, so I'll just go out and blow $700 on InDesign. No problem. I didn't really need to pay bills or rent. Or eat.
