OpenOffice, with added Matrix.★

NeoOffice 2.1, the Mac 'port' of OpenOffice with an injection of matrix-like oomph was unveiled not long ago to the percussion-like fanfare of thousands of jaws world-wide hitting floors.

You see, NeoOffice has earned the title of the one-and-only office application for OS X. It trumps Microsoft Office's clunky gui, poor loading time and weak functionality and is very much on-par with the iWork applications, although I would say that Pages has quite the upper hand when it comes to creating page layouts and churning out template based content.

Gone are the days of clunky OS 9 gui's, poorly designed Microsoft Office mock-ups, and sub-standard word processors. NeoOffice boasts a delicious aqua interface, clean gui and oh-so-wonderfully designed buttons.

Install a new dictionary with ease via your internet connection (no hunting for the Office CD), and switch input languages with the click of a button. NeoOffice isn't (as afore mentioned), a sub-standard mock-up of Microsoft Word, purporting to deliver the same features at a 0 Alex Price tag, its the true-blue real thing (with added spice).

The argument that a product is worth every penny of its price tag is mute in this instance. NeoOffice is open source, and has proven to its users that its developed with extreme care and dedication, by people with a passion.

What would you rather have? An application that is pumped out lethargically by a giant organization paying cubical-refined employees to code for a word-processor app one day and a video game the next, or an application that has been created with zeal, attention to detail and energy by people who really care, and therefore do it in their own time for free?

If you ask me, OpenSource is moving faster these days, towards a common beneficial goal, than anything before it.

Overall application verdict?
NeoOffice is not just a substitute for MS Office, its a complete and far-superior replacement.
