First looks at OpenOffice 3.1

(1/7) > >>

Edvard:
The folks at OOoNinja have posted a round-up of all the shiny new bits of OpenOfffice 3.1
Looks quite cool

OpenOffice.org 3.1 is 65 days away, and developers are finishing up more than 1000 issues targeted for this Microsoft Office killer packing an army of new features, enhancements, and bug fixes.

from someplace I forget now...

Definitely: must have lecture. I hope they will make Draw usable ;)

f0dder:
* f0dder yawns.
Are they going to cut down the bloat a bit and speed it up?

J-Mac:
When 3.0 was first available a few months ago I was all ready to download and install it but then I read all the stink about how the installer automatically associates all Microsoft Office files with Open Office - without asking and without offering any facility to change that from within OO. A lot of folks were unhappy and very vocal about that but OO was not looking to change that behavior. Basically a stance of - if you're going to use it, do it all the way.

Ballsy, I admit, but a bit over the top! I wonder if they finally decided to relent and stop that?

Edvard:
  :o
wat?

My 3.0 installation didn't do that... they must have changed it.
