That is nice and all. IMO, it is hard to get someone to use a 'ugly' windows look-a-like program on OS X when they can use something else that is 'guaranteed' to work that matches the purtiness of OS X. It has also been my experience that the average Mac user is more inclined to pay for something (Office v.X) that works than not pay for something that somewhat works.

Their roadmap is to first get a version that works fine on OS X using X11 for windowing, then to make a version that draws everything manually in quartz and still looks like the X11 version, but it runs without X11, and then finally to make a version that uses aqua widgets. They plan to be done with this by summer 2004, so don't go trashing your copy of office just yet ;) http://porting.openoffice.org/mac/timeline.html

No guarantees, I haven't even tried this, and /. may kill it, but try here. [neooffice.org] Google cached it here [216.239.51.100].

If you want an "alternative" office suite for OS X, consider ThinkFree Office [thinkfree.com]. It's not open-source, but it's a working, Aqua-style office suite that's not made by Microsoft. No free downloads, though (it costs $50).

Try NeoOffice [neooffice.org].
