"Go-oo has built in OpenXML import filters and it will import your Microsoft Works files. Compared with up-stream OO.o, it has better Microsoft binary file support (with eg. fields support), and it will import WordPerfect graphics beautifully. If you are reliant on Excel VBA macros - then Go-oo offers the best macro fidelity too. If you expect your spreadsheets to calculate compatibly, or you get embedded Visio diagrams in your documents, you'll want Go-oo." - ovigia from Bookmarklet

Far from perfect because Novell has hands in it, but it's an important fork after #oraclebitches acquisition of SUN. - ovigia

Debian's openoffice.org is already go-OO for a long time - at least Debian stable's version of OOo is already go-oo... - Marcos Marado

yes i know, i used to runaway from it, but now..... :( - ovigia

There's no reason to run away from it... - Marcos Marado

it was because of the ms-novell-ooxml support and because novell controls it.... - ovigia

the support is free software, there's no "control" from anyone whatsoever. If it ever changes into an ill path, stopping to update it or forking it will be as easy as saying "1 2 3" - Marcos Marado
