OpenOffice.org 2.0 Is Here

Friday, Oct. 21 2005 | Author: Dave

OpenOffice.org 2.0 is the productivity suite that individuals, governments, and corporations around the world have been expecting for the last two years. Easy to use and fluidly interoperable with every major office suite, OpenOffice.org 2.0 realises the potential of open source.

With new features, advanced XML capabilities and native support for the OASIS Standard OpenDocument format, OpenOffice.org 2.0 gives users around the globe the tools to be engaged and productive members of their society.

They even have it released on Bit Torrent. Those smart people.
I love OpenOffice, and so I am going to go jump and grab my full release (been running the beta for a while).

“They even have it released on Bit Torrent. Those smart people.”

It’s not so much that they’re smart, but rather, that it’s natural for them. The developing community represent a chunk of the demographic that use bittorrent.

The only thing I have to say is, that… OpenOffice.org 2.0 is much better than “Bill’s” Office !!!

I wanted to mention, for anyone who’s less into the XML/Oasis/OpenDocument scene and more into just using it, that the thing you might like most about OpenOffice.org is that the new interface is just a lot easier. Getting to the different icons for various features is much simpler, so it’s a lot easier to figure out where things are and how to do what you need to if you’re new to the program. (Experienced users–the Big Blue Triangle is gone and the specialized toolsets can be anchored as you need them.) Also, anyone who was frustrated before by Impress is going to have a much easier time. Impress looks a lot more like Powerpoint, has far more effects, and generally is a lot more logical.
