As it is a fairly big download at 170 MB, I thought I would ask the
opinion of those who have tried it out to give me some feedback as
to if it is worth getting.
Prefacing this response with: I run OpenOffice.org on a Linux box and
not a Macintosh.
I run my business on it, and it works well. It's responsive, feature
rich, configurable and open source.
It is also dependent on X-Windows, and as yet doesn't use the native
Aqua GUI, which is a mark against it in my book.
If people just need to read Word and Excel documents (rather than
perpetrate the evil by writing them), then other good alternatives
are icWord and icExcel
