"The first Mac OS X version cut of the Open Source office suite, OpenOffice, has emerged blinking into the daylight. It's being officially announced at OSDCON today."

And the Open Office.org [openoffice.org] website.

I've been using it to replace Word and Excell on a regular basis now. I've found it will read more .doc formats than even Word.

Looks like they fixed many font related bugs in 1.0.1. Good news!

OO is great stuff, and now it's available on all the major platforms. It is poised to take over the world's office desktops if it would just get the hype of commercial products.

Yes, but beware! the current build works with X11, not Quartz.
This means that not everyone can use OpenOffice but the ones that have X11 installed.

I personally can't wait for the Quartz release of OpenOffice!
