Neo Office 2.2.1 now available.

It looks really good, and isn't too slow launching. I'm on seven year old iron, so you with new computers will not have to worry.

Get it here. It's a big file, but worth the wait.

1. Is there any advantage to Neo Office if you already have MS Office?

ie is it faster or have different features?

[alfredo]

2. Not sure. If you've already shelled out the money for Office, you

won't need Neo Office.

If you want you can download it and try it out. That way you can compare and contrast.

3. It has a few more features than MS Office for Mac

It includes the database component that MS Office for Mac is missing, as well as more robust scripting (using javascript) and easier database access in spreadsheets (using jdbc drivers instead of ancient hard-to-get ODBC drivers).

It is dog slow on G4's or earlier, however. On a G5 or higher, it's just fine.
