OOo 3.0 Beta

BetaNews | OpenOffice 3.0 beta natively supports Mac OS X
Download OpenOffice.org 3.0.0 Beta for Mac OS X from BetaNews FileForum now.

The latest beta of OpenOffice.org 3.0 is the first to support Mac OS X without the need for X11.

The first alpha edition of OpenOffice 3.0, code-named Aqua, went live just shy of one year ago, and was reported to be extremely buggy. Naturally, however, when an update contains as many broad additions as this release does, a certain level of bugginess is expected, especially considering the nature of the program itself.

Update:
From Ars Tech

Speaking of Mac users, a significant enhancement to OpenOffice.org 3.0 beta is that it now runs on Intel Macs without the need for the X11 Unix environment. Sorry, PowerPC Mac owners—this release is Intel-specific, and not a Universal Binary.

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! HIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIISSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!
Some of us still have PPC macs. I know we ar a dying breed but can’t we get some love too? :-(
