If you can’t wait for the official release of OpenOffice 3.0, you can download the beta which is now available for download. This via DownloadSquad:

So what’s new under the hood? Here are some of the highlights:

• OpenOffice.org 3.0 is the first version to run on Mac OS X (there are also Linux and Windows versions)
• OpenOffice.org Start Center gives you a one stop shop for creating documents, spreadsheets, presentations, drawings, databases, or templates
• Support for collaborative spreadsheet editing
• Improved Writer notes features
• View multiple Writer pages while editing a document
• Improved crop features in Draw and Impress
• Support for ODF and MS Office 2007 formats

Sounds worth trying out … now if I could just find some time to test it out!! If you get to play with it, feel free to let us know how it works.
