Sun pulled the SO beta because they had collected all the feedback they felt they needed on it. The beta is based on an earlier build of OpenOffice.org (incorrectly AKA simply "OpenOffice"). The newer OpenOffice.org builds are faster and more stable than the SO beta, but they are missing a few (mostly unimportant) SO-only features. Give it a go; it has worked very well for me. -- Sridhar Dhanapalan "And do you not realize that features never get dropped: they just end up increasing the binary size and icache pressure forever?" -- Linus Torvalds
