OpenOffice.org 3 beta released

The first OpenOffice.org 3.0 beta release is available, and the project is looking for testers. "The most immediately visible change to OpenOffice.org 3.0 is the new 'Start Centre', new fresh-looking icons, and a new zoom control in the status bar. A closer look shows that 3.0 has a myriad of new features. Notable Calc improvements include a new solver component; support for spreadsheet collaboration through workbook sharing; and an increase to 1024 columns per sheet. Writer has an improved notes feature and displays of multiple pages while editing. There are numerous Chart enhancements, and an improved crop feature in Draw and Impress."
