This will probabally mean a new NeoOffice (OSX) is due out soon.

I’ve started using Open Office—I like it. There’s a small learning curve as the icons, navigation, etc. aren’t the same as MS, but it’s not too painful.

Windows just came out with Office 2007. It’s a total ripoff. I’ll just stick with 2003, thanks.

I'll add a Tech Ping to this as well--

Using it now - nice. I can’t tell any major differences from 2.1, but it’s not nearly as good as MS Office 2k3. Then again, it’s free and you don’t have to open a vein to prove you own it.

OpenOffice has proven popular this month, with French MPs choosing Linux over Windows and California considering following Massachusetts into the use of ODF.

You forgot Cuba.

The main gripe I have with OpenOffice is that it takes forever to load on slower machines. It works well enough on my own computer under Ubuntu 6.10, but on my wife’s (only slightly older) machine running Ubuntu 6.06, she has to wait forever for the thing to load, and then the whole computer slows down. I have her using AbiWord and Gnumeric instead, as they run much faster and do everything she needs to do.
