NeoOffice 3.0: OOo 3 productivity; PPC, Intel native versions

Posted on March 30th, 2009 by admin

The world + dog celebrated when OpenOffice 3 (OOo 3) arrived on the Fairer Platform™. However, the real open source productivity suite deal on the Mac is and has been for years NeoOffice.

And, now, NeoOffice 3 has arrived after a lengthy beta and it pulls into the station with the following features:

• Based on OpenOffice.org 3.0.1 codebase
• New Chart module
• PDF import in Draw
• Improved presentation tools
• Requires Mac OS X 10.4.11 or higher
• Improved performance
• Support for the Mac OS X Services menu within NeoOffice (read-only)
• Official support for PowerPC- and Intel-based Macs
• Experimental support for developer seeds of Mac OS X 10.6 “Snow Leopard”

However, unlike OpenOffice, NeoOffice actually supports Mac native functionality, like OS X Services support, Media Browser support, Native floating tool windows, Magnify and swipe trackpad gestures, Menus available when no documents are open, etc, and don’t forget it’s available for PPC Macs, which OOo isn’t.
