If you’re a Mac user, you don’t have as many choices of Office suites as you do with Windows, but that doesn’t mean that the current offering of Microsoft’s Office, or the Mac OS port of OpenOffice, named NeoOffice, are bad.

Even so, Mac OS users have been cursed with countless delays for the upcoming version of Microsoft Office, but hopefully, by this time next year, Mac users will have one more productivity to choose from: OpenOffice.

This version of OpenOffice will be completely encoded to match Mac OS X’s visuals, and will come with all of the features of OpenOffice 3, which will supposedly be released at around the same time next year.

This project was originally canceled back in 2003, but thanks to the momentum Apple has been gaining in the past months the organization now finds the project viable once again.
