OpenOffice has two versions, the official release and the development version, If you want the newest features but accept a risk of having problems (bugs, things not working, ...) install the Beta 2.0, but if you want something that work's well, with less features but less problems then install the official release (the stable, version number 1.1.4)
As you might know the ".com" is for "commercial", and openoffice is definitely not a commercial software (all the contrary) it is a free, open source (anyone can contribute or modify it) software. The ".org" is for "organisation", open office is definitely much more of an organisation that a commercial company, there is also the ".net" but that doesn't describe at all what sort of thing it is. I don't know if this is the real reason, but it is the most probable (I think). I hope you'll be happy with OpenOffice, Andrew on 23.04.2005 00:17 norman jacobs said the following: > I was recomended to you by www.csanola.com > <http://www.csanola.com> and I do not know anything about you.
