OpenOffice.org 2.1 Released With New Templates
Several readers wrote in to mention the release of OpenOffice.org 2.1. It includes support for 64-bit Linux and a number of other improvements, including multiple monitor support for Impress, improved Calc HTML export, and automatic notification of updates. Also, all of the templates and clip-art that were submitted for the template contest are available to download.
I knew the compile would take a long time, but months sounds excessive!
Thank you for supporting OpenOffice.
Have you considered submitting a Feedback/Feature Request to support the latest ZeroDays?
Other than that, you'll just have to wait since, unfortunately, OpenOffice is not yet sufficiently compatible with Microsoft Office to replicate the latter's vulnerabilities in their entirety. But we are working on it!
Obama likes poor people so much, he wants to make more of them.
I am a Gentoo user too, but this is a major achievement. Going through all the code base and sorting out the longs and crap is amazing. Have Microsoft achieved this? Have they F

Ah, here you went all wrong. The correct approach to converting your wife to Open Source would be suggesting you are in the mood for either "trying this anal way you keep hearing about" or "this Open Office thingie" your buddy mentioned. Watch her convert!
Yeah, but now he has the braggings rights for running OO.org on an SNES.
I think you really meant to post here:

This exercise is not futile because using a free application is better than using a non-free one, even if the latter is functionally superior. Excel is going the way of the dodo, if only because it is a non-free commodity application. On economic grouds only, it has no chance of beating free software in the marketplace (give it some time). And when it finally fizzles, the free alternative will be much better than anything that could be possibly produced by Microsoft. In fact, this is one of the reasons why it will finally go away.

He's using a 64-bit VM.
And I just started emerging it on Gentoo 2 months ago...

Hey pal, this isn't a pleasantforest, so don't waste my time with pleasantries!
Holy fuck, just in time. I'd just about reached the limits of what my 32-bit word processor could do.
Wat a sec, actually I haven't even reached the limit of Super Scriptsit. Who the hell needs a 64-bit word processor?

It's supported 65536 rows since version 2.0.
Why? 16 bit ints are so 1980.

"OpenOffice sucks because it does not have my critical feature! Until it does, I'm sticking with Ami Pro!"
"OpenOffice sucks because of a serious bug that those commie hippies haven't fixed yet! At least when I file a bug with Microsot, they get right on it! Sometimes, they will even patch the bug 10 times. THAT, my friends, is professional service!"
"OO sucks because it doesn't appeal to my aesthetic values at all! I'm going back to EMACS for all my office needs!"
"The curse word 'Java' appears somewhere in the installation! I want to be free, I'm going back to Microsot Woid!"
"OO sucks because it takes so long to compile! How in the world do those Windohs users find the patience?!"
"OO is grotesquely bloated! I installed it and it used more than 0.02% of my hard disk, forcing me to move some crucial porn and tunes to my NAS box!"
