i just tested:
if you go to
http://www.openoffice.org/
& select "i want to download" it widens the line & shows you what you
get
(in my case: ppc g4 powerbook, it showed v2.4.1 for mac osx in us
english)
i assume they send a cookie to check your system & then give you the
choice

I am using Open Office 3.0. Although this is a Beta version it
does not need X11 unlike previous versions. I was using Neo
Office but prefer the "feel" of 3.0. It has no problems with
conversions of latest MSOffice formats such as .docx.
It is free and available from www.openoffice.org

Up until this month I have managed communications with the dark

and saved them as pdfs.
MS Office 2008 (office version) is retailing for about $200 and I
thought I had better take the plunge. My other Mac son runs MS
Office 2004 but it would seem like going backwards to try and
obtain a copy of such. However, as there have been four years
between updates maybe it is good work horse.
For those using the 2008 version are you finding it stable,
backward compatible to say Office 98 or Word 6, unexpected issues
to watch for?
Your comments valued.
Comments from users of the 2004 version also appreciated.
