OpenOffice has released version 3 of its open-source alternative to the Microsoft Office suite of applications, which now includes a native version for Mac OS X.
The new OpenOffice 3 includes the following new features:
The native Mac version of the productivity suite is only available for Macs with Intel processors. There are projects available for converting OpenOffice for PowerPC Macs, but an official version was not included in this release.
The OpenOffice web site is running quite slowly right now due to the overwhelming demand for the new 3.0 release, but you can skip directly to downloading the software by going here. For all Mac users, make sure the file you’re downloading includes MacOSXIntel_AQUA_install in the name, especially if you’re using an external mirror. OpenOffice 3 weighs in at 163MB, and is a great free and open source alternative to Microsoft’s proprietary Office suite of applications.
