OpenOffice.org
OpenOffice.org

OpenOffice.org 1.1beta is ready for immediate download. It is a stable beta but still has bugs. This release represents a significant advance of the application and incorporates the features and changes introduced with the developer builds of the last year. These include:
# Many new import/export formats such as PDF, Macromedia Flash, DocBook, several PDA Office file formats, flat XML and XHTML
# Support for Complex Text Layout (CTL) and languages such as Thai, Hindi, Arabic, Hebrew

still seems really slow to me as well

I just checked it out. It still take about 30 seconds to launch on my laptop(P900). Secondary launches are as usual done is less than 10 seconds.

Overall most users will still have a very negative first impression of how slow/bloated OO is unless they fix the slowness of the first launch.
