If I go to their main download page I can get version 3.1.1 of OO for
Intel, AND 3.0 for PPC, IN Macedonian, or two different versions of 3.1
in Serbian, but the English version for PPC is still the antiquated 2.4
which is an X-windows program, and doesn't even open the latest files.
Why? Allegedly because they haven't had enough PPC users sign up to do
their exhaustive testing to release the PPC version from Release
Candidate status, EVEN THOUGH the code for the PPC and Intel versions
ARE IDENTICAL...it's a simple compiler switch; their rules for the main
download page state that only official releases are allowed there. So to
get the 3.1.1 version of US English OO for PPC you have to go spelunking
thorough their web site until you find it.
I've been running OpenOffice 3.0.1 on my iMac G5 under Mac OS 10.4.11
for a long time. I've just upgraded to Mac OS 10.5.8 and Open Office
3.0.1.still works.
