I can only agree. The PDF button is becoming a killer feature for OOo. I have stopped using MS Word completely now that EMF (graphics file) inclusion and PDF export works as it does. I can read MS Office files sufficiently well and I send PDF when I need to.
OOo/SO is becoming a very nice tool for engineers, btw, with its drawing tool and math editor (at least for people that like(d) TeX).
There are things that are not so nice, like throwing away my table formats during update to rc3, but it's deffinitely getting there.
I could not get around with 1.0 but with 1.1, I can.

OpenOffice.org 1.1 RC3

me three.

OpenOffice 1.1-rc<something> just entered Debian unstable. I wrote a 3 page document and it generated a refreshingly small 16k PDF for me.

Killer feature indeed.

(I'm not sure what release candidate this is, it's refered to as "OpenOffice.org 1.1 645(Build:8639)", the debian package says "-rc1" but that's just the pacakge name, it could be the debian package version)
