Mac Pick: OpenOffice 3
OpenOffice 3 was released a few days ago. With this release, we finally get a Mac native version. For those not familiar, OpenOffice is a free, open-source alternative to Microsoft Office.
With this office suite, you get a word processor, spreadsheet, presentation app, drawing app, and database. Unless you need a specific, unique feature from MS Office, I strongly recommend checking out OpenOffice first.
I’ve used the earlier beta builds of OpenOffice 3. So far, I’ve been satisfied with the overall stability and utility of this office suite.
Currently, this suite is Intel Mac only. Work is being done on a PowerPC version but I’m not sure on the release schedule.
