That's all fine and well, but I just want a version that doesn't require X11 and can print.

I thought it was dead.

yeah, who is working on it now? Or has it been completely tossed to neo office?

TRUE 'DAT

call me when it runs natively in OS X....REALLY

I want to get rid of MS office, but X11....

Looks nicer

That screen shot looks good. The interface looks a whole lot better. I'd prefer if it ran as OS X Native, but I might actually give this version a shot.

It can't print?! I knew it was limited, but really...an office suite that can't print isn't much use, now is it?

Hmm ... can't see where you're coming from there. Prints for me and for a few other people I know.

I might give this a crack for a playabout.

I thought it was dead.

The reports of it's death were greatly exaggerated, partly due to a misunderstanding about the intent of NeoOffice.

Hmm, blatant misrepresentation and sensationalism on Slashdot, whould'a thunk

Basically the developers had said that the Aqua native version was not going to be under active development, because they didn't have the resources and thought NeoOffice was the way to go. The X11 version was always being worked on.

I think the NeoOffice developers (both of them! Have to give those two a huge amount of thanks for what they've done), have since worked something out to make sure an Aqua native version is not permanently shelved either.

...
if X11 is scaring you off, what are you doing trying out Open Office in the first place?
