As someone who's been using the RC candidates for a while let me say what's improved in this release:

1) It's Faster!
2) It's better at importing files
3) It's generally better.

Really - I'm very pleased with the improvements in 1.1, the startup time especially. I've actually stopped using VMWare + MS Office to edit my work documents as well as it's much better at importing MS files. Great stuff.

Much as I hate software cheerleaders (especially desktop software cheerleaders), I have to chime in to say OOo 1.1 is great.

No crashes yet for me and it's opened every word document I've received in the last month. It's also the best (and only) wysiwyg PDF creator I've seen for GNU/Linux.

That's great to hear. My main complaint was the startup time. Which really isn't that much
of a complaint anyways, IMHO.

"It's faster!" is an understatement; it is vastly faster. And it now understands the bullets in my company's standard PowerPoint template (1.0.1 messed them up).
