The trials with OpenOffice 1.0 were very disappointing. And Neo was
so slow that I abandoned that idea very quickly. (I'm on a twin
867MHz desktop, and just moved from a 5-year-old portable to a new
12-inch - which had a broken or twisted Ethernet port and already has
several bruises on the top cover).
I'd hoped by now to be entirely XML-based internally, with
DTDs/schemas out to print and printlike formats (RTF, PDF) and out to
the Web (XHTML). No such luck.
But I haven't checked out OpenOffice 2.0 yet.
So its user interface is workable?
