Public Service Announcement

From the ongoing series this sometimes seems like an open-source geek blog:

Open Office 3 is out. Finally, it includes native Mac OS X support.

Open office is an open-source alternative to Microsoft Office. It has the same advantages and dis-advantages as its better known version. It includes a simple feature that—I am told—is not yet a standard thing in MS Office: PDF export.

(I am personally waiting for Ubuntu to upgrade it automatically since I never manage anything on my computer unless I absolutely must, but Rita has been using the 3.0 previews for a while and she finds it improves over the old version).

MS Office has support for PDF export (save as PDF) starting from Office 2007 (and it works quite well).

Cheers,

Good to hear. I can more easily ask for stuff in PDF format now.
