"OpenOffice.org 3.0 is 167 days away, but who's counting? Maybe the software developers are counting because they have a whopping 2,278 issues targeted for this release. Even though OpenOffice.org 2.4 is not yet out the door, let's see how far they've come with OpenOffice.org 3.0."

Now, one important feature is missing: TABS. This new version will keep clogging my taskbar.

Ya know, I was just thinking the same thing. AFAIK, not even MS Office has tabs. It's like Office suites are allergic to tabbed documents.

OpenOffice.org with tabs and a MUCH improved sidebar control that is much better than the Office 12 "ribbon":

Hmm. I have to agree with you there. The sidebar looks much nicer than the ribbon widget. What is Lotus Symphony? It is OpenOffice with custom tweaks from IBM?

2,278 issues in 167 days Er, I'm thinking there will probably be a scheduling adjustment in the not too distant future. Seems like a lot of work to stabilize.

Yeah, I know this extension, it was developed during the summer of code if my memory doesn't fail me. The problem is that it's...An extension. I don't imagine Firefox with a "Tabs" extension. That would be terrible. These essential features have to come standard. And the tabs at the bottom are...Weird.
