OpenOffice 1.1 available

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

According to this article the new version of Open Office is available for download. I tried out 1.0 a long while back and found it a little too limiting for what I use Office for, I wonder if it’s worth a look at the new one? Might make an interesting comparison to the Office 2003 I’ve been beta-testing. I probably won’t have time to look closely at it for a little while but it may turn into a project as the weather gets colder, and the weekends get less occupied.

    OpenOffice 1.1 released. I tried out 1.0 way back when and found it to pretty useful in some situations.
