OpenOffice

[Laurie and Jeff Zidek]

No you are correct.  It is still in beta but the beta works pretty good. 
 The final release will probably  come out as Star Office 6.0.  Jeff

I went to the OpenOffice.org web pages to see what's up.  It looks like 
this is
still in Beta and definately not ready for prime time use.  Did I miss
something or what?

 They did do away with the desktop sort of.   Now you open up openoffice 
and
 a Word like application comes up but when you click FILE then NEW you have 

 your choice of all the different file types.  So if you choose Spreadsheet 

 for example,  then an excel like spreadsheet pops up in the space.  I 
think
 it is actually better than the separate applications idea and think it is
 one up on Windoze.  Jeff

 I haven't really looked at OpenOffice yet.  Did they make it so you can
 open just the word processor or just the spreadsheet or does it still have 

 it's own desktop thingy like StarOffice?  That is my main complaint about
 StarOffice, you have to open their whole damn desktop thing and it takes
 way too many resources.
