I found this awesome post earlier: OpenOffice 3.0: What to Expect and I have to say I’m pretty impressed. I’ve always been a fan of OpenOffice, the open-source Office Suite. I’ve also always put up with the occasional crash and/or compatibility issue.
This time around though, I think they’ve sorted a lot of things out. Here are a couple of features, I’m especially excited about:
- Colored notes in the margins for Writer.
- Full support for x extensions ( .docx, xlsx etc.)
- Native support for Mac OSX!
Perhaps the most impressive feature, however, are the new presenter screens.

If you’re interested, check out the original article. It goes far more in depth.
