OO is a decent free Office Suite for Windows / Linux / Mac and other platforms. This webpage provides OpenOffice.org 3.0's new features, an early look:
OpenOffice.org 3.0 is 167 days away, but who's counting? Maybe the software developers are counting because they have a whopping 2,278 issues targeted for this release. Even though OpenOffice.org 2.4 is not yet out the door, let's see how far they've come with OpenOffice.org 3.0.
New features
- Personal Information Manager (PIM), probably based on Thunderbird/Lightning
- PDF import into Draw (to maintain correct layout of the original PDF)
- Web 2.0 support for weblogs and wikis
- Office 2007 OOXML document import filter
- Support for Mac OS X Aqua platform
- Redesigned, more modern GUI.
- Extensions, to add third party functionality etc

eat more RAM? new feature? oh no its designed for future PC’s.
well, i kind of dislike any kind of PC office app suite. they just eats up, the RAM and thanks to java. well. there is always a trade off and everything comes with a price tag. thus why i am broke for OO.
I just try it, and is a lot faster
