Submission + - OS X-friendly OpenOffice to go public next month

Miguel de Icaza writes: "A version of OpenOffice that will run natively under Mac OS X's Aqua user interface will be demo'd in public at Apple Expo Paris next month, the reg reports. To date the only way to run openoffice under osx was using the ugly X11 official port, or the unofficial neooffice port (which only emulates the native aqua theme — but quite successfully). Previously the OpenOffice.org developers refused to make a big effort to make a carbon/cocoa version until Apple offered to contribute developers/PR/credence to the project — and Apple couldn't support OOo because it would upset Microsoft and possibly jepodise MSOfficeOSX. Does an aquafied OOo for OSX may mean Apple have finally embraced the seagull?"
