Now I know I use Microsoft as my primary office software, and probably always will, but when OpenOffice 3 was released I had to get my hands on a copy.

So, despite the massive problems OpenOffice have been having with their site (huge traffic), I managed to get my download of the 150MB file. 

Well its installed fine, and I opened it up, and the new interface is fantastic! It’s brought Open Office in to 2008 rather than 2000! There are several new features that have also been added, including docx support and other important features.

Grab a copy at OpenOffice.org (They are currently having problems with server overload at the time of writing – you may not get the full download first time).
