I have to say I downloaded NeoOffice/J last week, and it is progressing quite well. It loads OpenOffice.org via java rather than x11 on the Mac.

It seemed to be quite usable as an free Office Package.

Of course I’d still like to have an Apple package, but given the last status of Apple Works it would take a lot of work to get a good project. Unless they have secretly be working on the OpenOffice.org port or something.

If it doesn’t help them, they should go for it? Uhhh…?

I wouldn’t expect this will void MS office’s utility, at least not immediately, just replace Appleworks with something a bit more modern. But if it is well enough received, perhaps it may end up following itunes to windows… I’d love to use Keynote, for example, without having to take my ibook to meetings
