"OpenOffice.org now uses a technique called anti-aliasing..."

Forgive me, but I am a bit ignorant on this, could someone tell me when and how it came to pass that Oracle now has relationship with Open Office?
You mean other than the fact that they own Sun and the OOo team is mostly Sun engineers? Yeah that was a pretty difficult one to solve.
...the most visible is the major revamp of OpenOffice.org on-screen graphics.
Well, Duh! I'll bet the least visible is the off screen graphics.

Mod Parent up.
My nerd buddy who is into Linux had been bugging me to try OpenOffice for weeks. I installed it and it took nearly 3 hours to complete, while requiring 3 reboots in the process! Sure enough, it was as slow and buggy as the Java platform itself.
That's why Genuine Microsoft Office is my productivity suite of choice. It offers lightning-fast speed, ironclad stability, and the revolutionary new Ribbon interface which allow us to Just Get the Job Done(tm). No futzing with half-ass crappola on MY machine, ladies.
2006? How am I supposed to get back to 2006 and get it? It's not like I have a time traveling phone booth or DeLorean sitting around.
All hot female naysayers, 18-36 please report to my house.

Dirty mouth?
Try Orbit gum!
Brilliant!
No incumbents, not no where, not no how.
Vote them out every term.
but it has had times where it seemed out of place on either Windows or OSX
And that's exactly why iTunes has been such a success on Windows. It looks just like a native app...
And Windows is free if your time and money have no value.
Completely off topic, but if you have a bunch of hot female naysayers at your house, what on Earth do you hope to accomplish? It's like the kid in college who lined his room with posters of women in bikinis and never ever talking to a real live girl.
OpenOrifice is still just a lame piece of software for people who are too cheap to buy quality Microsoft software.
I didn't know Microsoft was in that business..
Sorry to pick on you grammer nazi but if your going to do it right you should follow your own advice
Yes, "YOUR" right his "GRAMMER" was teh sux, also while we're at it when you say you could care less you imply that you do care about the issue, as you have the ability to care less than you currently do about it.
Get a brane, moran!
As a counterpoint, Fedora 11 will also have professionally packed packages and won't be run by a bunch of former Ubuntu noobs and script kiddies.

Ah, shucks. Apparently, neither of the NetBSD advocates are reading slashdot at the moment.

Dammit! I'm at work and I'm trying to sleep here!
Every time I start to have faith in humanity, I ruin it by driving to work between 7 and 8 am.
There isn't any rule to make it wrong. You can disagree with it, but that doesn't establish that it is wrong, just that you disagree with it.
Uhm.. yeah there is. This isn't kindergarten where every child is a treasure and there is no wrong so we don't hurt people's feelings. Saying you're going to buy something isn't the same as owning something.
You can't go to a car dealership, tell them you want to buy a car then slap on your "I heart <topic>" bumper stickers on it and take it to the beach until you fork over the money.

Well that explains a lot.
