OpenOffice.org 3.3.0

Rated 40/50 by rhy7s at Mar 17, 2008

Prefer the styles interface over Office's implementation, and the interface in general. Would like the built in PDF export to deal with OpenType better but I use PDFCreator anyway so that's not an issue in actual use.

dvferret, it's not Spanish, it's French....

Works fine, and people who give it bad rating just for spite should be banned.

Lacks many features, would have gotten a couple points higher but had to counteract the guy before me. (and whats up with the picture in Spanish?) EDIT: Ah, French, thanks for the clarification!

picso you need to grow up. Giving this a 5 although I think it's about a 4 just to counteract your spam

As long as people are writing about M$ instead of MS - I will give this software a 1.

SIX Release Candidates? What is this? Azureus? C'mon folks - a RC is the last step before release. If you need 6, you're still in Beta. FIVE stars.

'The picture in spanish' (frnch who cares) refers to the implementation of many languages which open office supported first in order to get it to smaller groups around the world (especially when the population is small and offi$e is out of reach) which MS conveniently overlooked (until they saw they were losing pocket change as well as face). Open Source is worldwide. MS Office? Just a good marketing scheme and nothing more.

Without a doubt one of the best opensource FREE programs. That said, I still like Office. I use office on my main pc and openoffice on the other pc's in the house. I do have to agree though, the look of it (icons mainly) are from 8 years ago. I need more eye candy (it works for Apple).

This amazing office suite is a great testament to open source software and it keeps getting better! There are versions for Windows, Mac OS and Linux, so you can use it on almost any computer. I've been using OpenOffice.org for years and it has saved me from having to pay a lot for Microsoft Office and also having to deal with Microsoft Office updates and security fixes, etc. OpenOffice.org can read and save standard .doc, (Word) .xls (Excel) and .ppt (PowerPoint) files, as well as OpenDocument files and more. I tell people about OpenOffice.org all the time and it definitely gets my highest rating and recommendation!

It's free, not that slow and does what it says on the tin. Oh, and it's FREE.

slow, ugly and bloaty. Why can't Ooo devs make a more modular system that allows for patch updates. 114mb for what amounts to a bug fix and minor update is just shocking... especially as in a month or two there will be another patch/update and another 110+mb to download. All these updates and it's still ugly as sin too!

@ Banquo @ Jegar48 Spam or spite = violating names = writing M$ instead of MS.

It's even slower than the Microsoft Suite, and that's one quite fine milestone ! Well done lads ! *roll*

First of all, they are having trouble keeping up to the demand, the link does work but you'll be lucky to get this on the first day of release. Secondly for all those out there who care, the time is now ripe for Open Source to prove it can not only be just as good as closed source, but it can be better in every way and surpass closed source apps once and for all. Death to patents, death to closed source, death to Mac and Microsoft.

The support of OOXML formats is expected in v. 3, due September 2008. This download does not work.

OpenOffice is by far the best free officesuite, I use it at both computers at home, at work and I always recomend to family and friends. Why buy something expensive when you can get i for free!? Then the looks of it, I agree, it looks old but have you tried to change icons? It can look better! (Tools -> Options -> OpenOffice.org -> View) There you can change icon size and style!
