New It sounds like it might actually be useful now.
* They got rid of that annoying MDI interface--it's all separate modules, now.

That's what annoyed me most about StarOffice when I played with it on OS/2 years ago. It's good to see that that's finally gone.

I notice on the porting page that a MacOS X port is underway, and a couple of fellows are working on an OS/2 port. If Apple has any sense they'll strongly support work on the MacOS port...

I hope the project has some legs. It would be great to get away from having to use MS Office.

<... should I finally get a laptop Mac capable of running OS X?...>

Cheers,
Scott.

New OO on Mac OS
I can't remember where I saw it, unfortunately, but I stumbled across a screenshot of OpenOffice showing Taiwanese fonts running under what looked like OS X. :-) It was only two or three days ago.

New I read about this
They managed a successful build of 638, I believe. It runs on OS X, but only under X Windows.

However, with this start they may be able to come up with a build that runs natively under Aqua. I'm very much looking forward to this, as I've used OO on Linux and it's pretty nice.
