OpenOffice to be Native Mac App
 

Microsoft Office alternative, OpenOffice, will ship in a native version for OS X next month. OpenOffice.org is a multiplatform and multilingual office suite and an open-source project. Compatible with all other major office suites, the product is free to download, use, and distribute.Until now the software has required that users install the X11 Window System, a graphical interface that lets Unix-based applications work on Macs. The new version of the software won't require X11, and will work just like any other OS X-native application.A huge collection of screenshots of the application running natively on a Mac are available on an OpenOffice developer website. The release also seems likely to debut at OOoCon in Lyon, France, which runs between 11-13 September. News source: Macworld UK Read full story...
