NeoOffice 2.1 was released yesterday.

This derivative of OpenOffice.org for Mac OS X has some nice features not available in the OpenOffice.org X11 variant, including a native Aqua interface, the ability to read and write Microsoft’s new “docx” file format, and to run Excel macros.

(Amazingly, Microsoft Office on Mac will not be able to read its own new docx file formats until the second half of this year or later, and it will not ever be able to run macros, as that feature has been dropped from the Mac version.)

NeoOffice can be downloaded from the project site. Please make a donation to the developers, they are doing terrific work here!
