OpenOffice.org 3.0 Is Officially Here

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the who-needs-office-anyway dept.

SNate writes "After a grinding three-year development cycle, the OpenOffice.org team has finally squeezed out a new release. New features include support for the controversial Microsoft OOXML file format, multi-page views in Writer, and PDF import via an extension. Linux Format has an overview of the new release, asking the question: is it really worth the 3.0 label?"

    Since the spend too much for software, they save by offering lower salaries. Look elsewhere.

    Thats a mighty stupid assumption to be making before the start of negotiations. Send your Word-97-Formatted-Only resume to the appropriate spot, and then check what they offer.

    You can always tell them to stick their offer later. Or tell them your brave new plan to save them money and switch to OO3! (and then the manager says "Sharepoint + 20 Office seats cost us less than the pay I got on the last golf^W vendor day".
