pryomancer Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 The site has been reduced to basic text to cope with server demands lol. Also the download rate is tiny, it would take the rest of my life to download. I think I'll wait a bit before I get it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bauke Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 OO is absolutely great. It does the same as MS Office, but it's totally free. Well, there might be some slight chances, but nothing that affects me in my work. I'm never paying for MS Office again.

InkofDeath Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 Openoffice is or has to be one of the top 5 opensource programs going around. Regardless I only found out about the project or program 4 to 6 months ago, so it's been kinda of jungled learning about it. It's pretty neat anyways.

urbestfreind Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 Thanks for bringing this to my attention. I'll have to try this new version, and see if it's better than the last time I tried it (which didn't end well). Probably going to wait like pyro, since I know it will take at least a few days for the download queues to ease up...Especially with Java offering Open Office for all of their downloads, and all the PC magazines recommending OO, there's a lot of people that will be wanting this new version. I'm in no rush, I'll stick with Google Docs and Zoho Writer (the latter I use for school, since it's the only online word processor that isn't blocked) for now.

Makoto_the_Phoenix Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 I've always been fond of OOo, and this release is no exception. I really like what I see with this. I can't notice much of a speed boost yet, but repeated use will soon prove how fast it is.

eggzs Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 I've used OOo ever since I got my new PC around Dec. 07 as I could not see the point in paying $100 for the basic MS version, definately will be upgrading to 3.0 as I haven't even upgraded from 2.4.0 yet.

dsavi Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 Nice. I hope they update the ubuntu.com deb archives with it soon, I've been waiting for this. (Strangely enough, they didn't update the Gimp 2.6 debs until... Well, I don't know.) Open source for the win. :thumbup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldJoe Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 *downloads* Never had any problem with the OOo-2. And i never understand why so many have complained on it's speed, I've used MS office 2003 and OOo... Never noticed one to be faster than the other. When i discovered OOo some year ago or two, i'll never go back to pay for an office suit. (damn, my grammar is weird today) J'adore aussi le sexe et les snuff moviesJe trouve que ce sont des purs moments de vieJe ne me reconnais plus dans les gensJe suis juste un cas désespérantEt comme personne ne viendra me réclamerJe terminerai comme un objet retrouvé Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoeDaStudd Posted October 16, 2008 Share Posted October 16, 2008 Looks nicer then before not noticed anything else, but I'm sure I'll find the changes soon.
