Mini-Review of NeoOffice 2.1 OS X (intel)

March 28, 2007 at 11:07 pm (Uncategorized) (, , , )

Neooffice 2.1 is out !
NeoOffice Main Page
3 words. Practical,  Arabic, Free.

Two Days ago NeoOffice.Org released their latest version of the Office Documents Application. It now works natively on Intel mac’s without the need for X11 application.
As you can see the aqua look of the program blinds beautifully with the OS X .

I’ve quickly used it to open a ppt presentation which included notes with each slide. It wasn’t as practical as MS Office 2004 PowerPoint where you get an “IFrame” like window beneath each slide to view the notes attached. But it did work well in NeoOffice.

Impress !

The .xls files work great and you even get the taped spread sheets work as it should do.

So far the only disadvantage I’ve faced is how slow the program takes to load files. But once it does everything flows smoothly !.

Now the mac experience is complete.
