Native Aqua OpenOffice
The OpenOffice Mac porting team is reportedly working on a native Aqua version of its business productivity software suite, rather than simply porting the platform-independent Java version. The software is listed as being the third development snapshot, announcing a number of bug fixes and interface optimizations. OpenOffice says the newest version now uses a Mac OS X native print dialogue, and that extensions are installable through the improved GUI.
The latest build also features faster loading and saving, a new Start Centre, improved scroll wheel functionality, and several other fixes, while some issues are still outstanding. OpenOffice has not mentioned when the final version would be available.

really old news?
They announced this in Sept 2007. I hardly consider 6 month old announcements to be news. Apparently they are aiming at getting the final version by Sept '08. You want me to help you lift that rock up that you've been living under?
