Anyone here give this a whirl yet? I'm tempted to give it a shot when I get home from a business trip. Would love to hear some feedback from anyone who's had a chance to play with it...speed, stability, etc...

I've been using the NeoOffice/J Intel Alpha version on my Intel iMac for awhile now and it has been fairly stable and the performance has been pretty good. The startup time is not what I would call speedy, but fast enough to not be annoying. Overall, I am pretty pleased with the Intel NeoOffice/J and it is definitely worth giving it a try. The interface still needs work in the visual appeal department, but the interface is still functional and very useable for everyday use.

Just FYI there is no NeoOffice/J for Intel Macs. They dropped the /J suffix a while ago.
And regarding the interface, I think the 2.0 alphas (based on OO.o 2) look pretty nice, at least compared to previous versions.

I think it's interesting that the Intel only binary is larger than the PowerPC only binary.

Probably because it is still in Alpha. Alpha software usually is larger than final releases
