(And please don't start with the 'There is no complete compatibiltiy between MS Office versions' rant - I've heard it, I understand what you mean, but they are far more compatible than reverse-engineered suites.) I use Bean and because they are much faster than MS Office with most of the features I need, but I also keep MS Office around to ensure complete compatibility with clients that use Windows. If it did, I certainly wouldn't use - they pretty much said Mac users don't matter for the better part of a decade. (I'm a print and web designer.)Īs far as history goes - that doesn't matter to me.

I think it has something to do with the large number of fonts I have.

Microsoft Office 2007 PowerPoint takes well over a full minute to open for me.

And opening them one at a time, OOo seemed faster, but I didn't time them, so I could be wrong.įor me, they both open far faster than Microsoft Office. I started them both at the same time, and OOo opened first. Okay, the faster I was referring to was a cold start. have been voracious about tweaking and fixing bugs and developing an awesome Application. Neo: The history and evolution and development of a mac-based suite. Note: I moved this topic to the Random Whatnot forum since it is not really a rant but is a very valid question.

CONS TO NEOOFFICE UPGRADE

So, we usually wait to upgrade to newer versions as a new release is usually quickly followed by a bug fix release or two ( 3.0.1 appears to already be in the works). Since we are so oriented towards stability and user support, we do not conform to Sun Microsystems' release schedule as we believe that pushing something out that has had only limited testing would mean that our support quality would deteriorate. Also, being able to get a fix for a serious bug (in many cases within a day or two) is a huge benefit and, we believe, the reason that our users continue to donate to NeoOffice. Many people do have questions and having someone there who actually knows the code is of value to those users. In contrast, what we provide is rapid user support. If 3.0 is fast and stable for you, you do not need support, and (most importantly) you do not use any PowerPC machines, then 3.0 is a reasonable choice for you. In any case, I am not going to try to sell anyone on using NeoOffice over. We would definitely be interested in what things are clearly faster so that we can ensure that such performance improvements make it into our next release - NeoOffice 3.0 Early Access. Really? Maybe OOo 3.0 is faster in some operations but we have not found so in the our performance comparison tests. Posted: Mon 10:25 am Post subject: Re: Why NeoOffice over Mac Native? I'm using a late 2007 White SuperDrive MacBook with 4GB of RAM running Leopard, if that makes a difference. In my experience, OOo 3 is faster both in loading and responding than NeoOffice. What are the benefits to using NeoOffice, which is still based on the 2.x code of, over the Mac-Native 3.0?
