Open Office . org – using the Aqua beta version

May 12th, 2008

I have been using OOo on Mac OS X for quite a while, via the X11 windowing system; in spite of all the claims that X11 is “compatible, fast, and fully integrated with Mac OS X”, the thing was a real cow, heavy and sluggish.

Now that the Aqua build is out (beta, yup), I have installed it with great relief: Open Office is now “compatible, fast, and fully integrated with Mac OS X”, and seems to be running reliably.
