Ports in development include Linux (Alpha), Linux (ARM), IRIX, Tru64 (Alpha), NetBSD (Sparc), OS/2, VMS and BeOS. Why do other posters spread slander and gossip about a program they have no direct experience with? It would be better for you not to post at all if you admit that you don't know what you are talking about.The office suite has so far been ported to Mac OS X v10.2 (PowerPC), Solaris 7 & 8 (Sparc & Intel x86), Windows 95/98/ME/NT/2000/XP, Linux (Intel x86 & PowerPC) and FreeBSD. Several people who admit to never having actually used NeoOffice have condemned it as being buggy or inferior and say "Why not use something else?". I am upset with the tone of many comments made here. Using the "CoreText" functions in NeoOffice 3.2 Beta.

NeoOffice developers have reimplemented all of the text layout code I'm using NeoOffice 3.2.1 beta right now myself.įurthermore, the latest version in beta, 3.2.1, removes much of the deprecated code and replaces it with more up-to-date methods.

Of course if you are working with a beta version of any program, you can expect bugs. NeoOffice is quirky in places, but the full release version of NeoOffice is not buggy. It feels more "Mac-like" and uses Mac features, such as the system-wide spell check and Services in some cases. NeoOffice's strength is that it is better integrated into Mac OS X than either or LibreOffice. I find NeoOffice to be faster than (which has all but been discontinued in its development) and LibreOffice. Today I also use OpenOffice and LibreOffice, and I can tell you from my experience that NeoOffice is in no way inferior to those other programs. I have used NeoOffice for eight years, as each new version came out. I do not agree with any of the opinions provided here regarding NeoOffice.
