I've now had the opportunity to spend some time on the newly released NeoOffice 2 Aqua Beta. FANTASTIC. I'm really impressed.

If you're not familiar with NeoOffice, it's basically OpenOffice at the heart, but 'Made for Mac' so it looks great and it doesn't need X11 to run on your Mac, PPC or Intel.

The only drawback for me with NeoOffice is that it doesn't support macros in Excel. NeoOffice does have Macro ability, it just can't run Excel macros. This has to do with VBA and it's restrictions, it seems that other software would have to license it or something in order to run VBA code. This isn't a deal breaker for me, it would be nice though.

Here is a partial screenshot of the new Aqua interface for NeoOffice, this is with stock icons - which can be changed.

I don't have Microsoft Office installed on my Mac, and with NeoOffice at my disposal I don't miss it either.

Oh, in case you weren't aware. NeoOffice is freeware. Donations always accepted. This is a great Office Suite, give it consideration.

Which Office Suite, installed or online, are you using - likes dislikes?
