OpenOffice 3.0

I may have mentioned this earlier but an essential for any home computer, or at work, is OpenOffice. It includes everything I’ve ever used in Excel (and more!).

There’s an excellent overview of version 3.0 at Lifehacker so I won’t repeat any of it here.. except the mention of one absolutely significant improvement.. if you’re on a Mac, you must have noticed its predecessor had a bit of an identity crisis with its ctrl+C and ctrl+V copy/paste keyboard shortcut. But no more! It’s been rightfully corrected to cmd+C and cmd+V. I’ll say that’s worthy of the upgrade right there.
