I knew Kevin Brown would blab about a carbon Office and talk about it being delivered in the fall with all sorts of goodies, but they might even demo a working version next week.

check out:
http://dailynews.yahoo.com/h/zd/20010712/ tc/open-source_openoffice_for_os_x_faces_uphill_battle_1.h tml

or, if the link is messed up, see ZDnet for the story.

It'd be very cool to see the stuff actually working already at MWNY.

I got it with this link.

I hope that the Open Office and MS Office get a move on. If MS Office comes out I can make the complete change to OS X. I wonder how long I could go without using Classic....?

Plus, if 10.1 make OS X perform better, that would be a coup for me.

It is pretty amazing, and quite stable for a beta version. It has definitely been AQUAFIED!

You REALLY shouldn't be using software that you haven't paid for.

But... Since you have it...What is the stability of Word and Powerpoint? These are what I use the most.
