 OpenOffice Org has announced the release of the first public beta of OpenOffice 3.0.
Of particular note to Mac users this official version is 100% Mac OS X native. In other words no more need for X11 to be installed. This release has full import capabilites for Office 2007 files but cannot save in this format. It also fully supports the new features of ODF 1.2.
There is more scripting support even with basic Visual Basic scripting (something Microsoft removed from Office 2008 Mac) although it's unclear if this is supported under Mac OS X.
