The new OpenOffice.org 3.0 has arrived!

Today there’s good news for us all; the all brand new version of OpenOffice.org 3.0 is here, and it is not in beta anymore!

I have used the betas up until now, and have been very happy with the stability, so the final version should be even more stable, and I highly recommend that you do so. It is, of course, still free of charge. You can find the download here. You can find other languages here, but please be advised that not all languages has been implemented for version 3 yet.

OpenOffice.org is being developed for both Mac OS X, Linux, Windows and Solaris.
