LUMINOUS I'm delighted! It's fast, more features than MS Office, 100% compatible and platform independent! Well, I hoped that MS Office 2008 would finally work as it should, but that is just not a priority in Redmond.

PAULNOJUSTPAUL I've been using NeoOffice for a long while but this is a really good solid update to OOo, I'm going to give this a serious try again. Seems a whole lot let less sluggish and more polished than the last one I used. In case no-one's mentioned it here (sorry for the repeat if they have), if you go into preferences and disable Java runtime environment. You should see a pretty big performance improvement.

YOXI One more thing about NeoOffice (as someone was asking for comparisons) - in v3, NeoOffice will continue to support the PPC architecture. There is and will be no official PPC support in OpenOffice v3, though there are unofficial builds available on ooopackages.good-day.net

BURAK OpenOffice.org 3.1.0 000310m11 (Build: 9399) works on my PPC G4 eMac (Mac OS X 10.5.6, 1.25GHz + 1.25GB).

KZX72 Why not drop the ".org" and just call the program Open Office

BRUMM I've been waiting a very long time for this and donated 30 Euros twice to this project, but now, what I get is absolutely unuseable. For example it takes 3 minutes to open a 500 pages rtf file here. Scrolling is unbelievible slow and a simple Search & Replace takes forever. Any other tips to optimize the performance, beside the java tip? (btw. NeoOffice is based on Java and much faster...?) I'm on a 1 Ghz PowerMac with 1 GB RAM - as every longtime Mac user knows PPCs are twice as fast as Intel PCs, so what is wrong here?

OPETER Same problem here. OO.org 3 Aqua is very slow, compared to NeoOffice. I'm on na Intel Mac mini 1,83 GHz, 4 GB (2x2 GB, 3,25 GB usable) and a 7200 rpm HDD and it is simply unbelivable, how slow the scrolling of pages and the whole responsiveness of OO.org 3 is.

APPSCOUT From NeoOffice wiki: NeoOffice uses bits of Cocoa and Java to implement a more Mac-like user experience.

BOUSOZOKU Sorry but this long time Mac user knows that the last real advantage outside of the few AltiVec-enhanced bits of software (G4, G5 only) was with the PowerPC 604/604e processors vs. the Pentium III. At that point, the 604/604e were about 15 % faster overall. The G3 and later processors didn't have any processing advantage. Concerning OpenOffice 3.x, I'm not sure why they've chosen to let the PowerPC version lie dormant or nearly dormant near its finish. Was the code so different? Is it that the compiler or the source code is so bad that the generated code requires a much faster processor to take up the slop?

WCHNLCC I wrote the webmaster at good-day.net about the empty folder, and he replied almost immediately, fixing the problem (server must have needed some encouragement) and posting the link so I could get it. The folder is back online for those who would like to download the PPC version (or for Intels too). http://ooopackages.good-day.net/pub/OpenOffice.org/MacOSX/ ftp://ooopackages.good-day.net/pub/OpenOffice.org/MacOSX/ Thanks to Takeshi Abe and good-day!

BILLINDG The folder is now back up, but I don't see the final version. The latest seems to RC4.
