OpenOffice.org, the free competitor to Microsoft's Office, has just offered up their latest version 3.0 for testers, and I can tell you as a Mac User that there were immediate improvements. I can now seriously consider using OpenOffice on a regular basis. LifeHacker takes a closer look, and its well worth reading.

I recommend you test the program - I think it's ready for PrimeTime. DownLoad It HERE

I wont be changing from Office 2007. I need to be able to save into .doc and .xls so I can use files on Office 2003 at work.

I also use VBA extensively, which is not available in OpenOffice. Although there is a macro equivalent, it would involve learning all the code again - which also wont be portable to work.

    • Wait, Burning Man is going online-only? What does that even look like?
      You could have been forgiven for missing the announcement that actual physical Burning Man has been canceled for this year, if not next. Firstly, the nonprofit Burning Man organization, known affectionately to insiders as the Borg, posted it after 5 p.m. PT Friday. That, even in the COVID-19 era, is the traditional time to push out news when you don't want much media attention.

Even as it offers refunds to early ticket buyers, considers layoffs and other belt-tightening measures, and can't even commit to a physical event in 2021, the Borg is making lemonade by focusing on an online-only version of Black Rock City this coming August.    Read more...
