NeoOffice Aqua is here

NeoOffice In the never ending quest for a cheaper office suite (hell, we’ll settle for a Universal Binary), NeoOffice seeks to fill the void. They’ve taken the open source underpinnings of OpenOffice and made it much more palatable using Java.

The latest version (now freely available) integrates all kinds of Cocoa goodness. Honestly, I’m not sure what that means technically, but it does mean that NeoOffice feels much more at home than OpenOffice ever did. It’s even a Universal Binary. Considering most people’s needs are not particularly intense and don’t need half the features that Microsoft builds into its Office software, this may be a great fit for many of you (especially those of you missing AppleWorks or using an ICBM).
