The native OS X verison is on the way but apparently they are having trouble finding developers so it will be a few months late.

The article refers to #i55330#. For the curious, here's the link:

This was caused by compatibility hack for OOo 1.0 series, which saved *transparency* instead of *opacity* in svg:stroke-opacity attribute. Ugh.

I went to the download page... Selected language, then OS, and then I could select download site...
'Lo and behold, that particular site didn't have RC3.
Click the back button to go back to select a new download site.
The list is empty, but language and os is still selected.
Not until I deselected and reselected os, did I get to pick a new download site.

Speed in Writer and Calc seems to have increased a lot since I last tried OOo/SO, but the Math part... horribly slow. Takes around a second from last input to seeing the result.
Haven't had time to actually USE these programs yet, but my first general impression is that it's getting better, but still have a long long way to go.

OOo 2.0 is all fine and dandy, even though I find it to lack quite a few features. Knowing it's a bit early, but are there any roadmap to 3.0 and what is planned 'til then?
What especially interests me is the charting engine. I hope they start doing some miracles here, as everything it puts out now doesn't look good (if you ask me)

I'm not so sure you're right here. As far as I heard, OOo (Star Office) was actually bought by Sun a long time ago from some other company. Most of the stuff which was developed before Sun bought it is actually still there.
reading some notes from current developers, some are a bit irritated over "leftover" code from the ol' days. Not sure how much substance is in there, but that's what I've heard.

Thanks OpenOffice developers for all youe hard work on deveoping an extreemly complex application. Double thanks for letting me have a Office suit for free, I cannot complain about it in any way because it's free.
Yes I know, what part of FREE dont people get?, because now I can do professional letters, slideshows on my computer for FREE. MS Office is great but for desktop users it's a complete waste of money.
