Alternatives To Office For Mac OS X

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."

Evolution offers Exchange integration. Of course, it's an X11 application, and Apple's X11 server sucks, so it's a pain to use under OS X.

Once Apple comes around to actually supporting X11 well, then all this software will become available for Macintosh.
