OOo does run on Intel macs; I'm running it on my Macbook Pro. You can get it compiled for Intel, but there are a couple of gotchas.
First, the Intel version is a "non-QA" version, which means it's still being tested. That said, for what I've done, it has behaved just fine. Secondly, there isn't a truly native version for OS X; you're going to have to run X11, which is the UNIX graphics engine. It's provided by Apple here: http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/apple/x11formacosx.html The non-QA version for intel is here: ftp://ooopackages.good-day.net/pub/OpenOffice.org/MacOSX/2.0.3rc7/OOo_2.0.3rc7_MacOSXIntel_en-US.dmg Using it this way is not horrible, but it's not ideal either. Keep an eye on this project for an Aqua native version of OOo 2.0: http://www.neooffice.org/ HTH, -Roberto. On 8/1/06, Katie Degroot <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
hi for school i am contemplating buying a mac, and downloading oo.org 2.0 into an intel based mac book. i have read numerous reports adn reviews that say non-native programs + programs based for non-intel macs run MUCH slower on a intel macbook/imac. does this apply to oo. org? i have it on my pc, and LOVE it, so i'd apperciate a repply soon. thanks, kd
