You can now download yourself a copy of the first beta release of OpenOffice 3.0 for Mac OS X. This is the first version to run natively on the Mac and not require X11.
The download clocks in at 168MB and is for Intel Macs only.
It should be noted that the OpenOffice 3.0 beta is also available for Linux, Solaris and Windows.
I’m sure by now you’ve heard the wonderful news, 10.5.2 is finally out. Yay! I’ll spare you the boring technical details, but holy crap did 10.5.2 jack my boot time. When I first installed Leopard my boot time went from 33 seconds to 54 seconds, ridiculous! Anyhow, after the 10.5.2 update it was taken my Macbook Pro a full 2 minutes to boot, for shame!
So yeah, I reset my PRAM and emptied out my caches and got things back to around 54 seconds. Just keep that in mind when you install the update. Please note, normally I don’t care about boot times that much, but I’m bored out of my mind right now.
p.s. TUAW is reporting that 10.5.2 makes your WoW run faster
