And my post was in response to the OP who was having issues with OOO3 on OSX. I have no idea how many folks are finding the Mac version a problem or not. I only know of those who post here, and most of the Mac-related posts have not been positive.

I guess I'm not all that concerned about who's giving what to whom. I find NeoOffice to be very stable and integrated in the OSX environment and OOO (pre-version 3) required use of the klunky X11 system.

I tried out NeoOffice and much preferred OO.o 3. I still find it reprehensible for them to build on top of OO.o code and not allow their code to be used by OO.o.

I tried OOO ver. 3 and found it buggy, prone to crashes, and worse, unkillable crashes. I also didn't find the differences between ver. 2 and ver. 3 on the Mac version to be all that compelling. That's why I'm not going to wrestle with OOO3. As stated earlier, I have neither the time or energy to wrestle with the flaws in the Mac OOO3. Needing to use a variety of ways to kill a program/process smacks of Microsoft, not GNU and open source.

As I said before, I have had none of your problems. Neither have a huge number of other users. Did you try using a new profile? Profile corruption, especially if using one from an older version of OO.o.

As usual, your mileage may vary.

True. And that is why I am pointing out that for the vast majority of users, OO.o 3 is working well.
