This is the latest version. It brings some welcome features and some much needed polish. While some of the improvements are visible to the naked eye, I found that the most important changes were hidden under the hood.

very glad that OpenOffice didn't adopt the Ribbon style toolbars that everyone seems to be going nuts for these days. I can't stand the Ribbon bars and I despise them. Give me a title bar, a menu bar and the tool bars that allow me to flow quickly through my work. OpenOffice has come a very very long way. If you don't need all the higher end features of MS Office, then OpenOffice is all you'll ever need.

If you need an Office-like program but don't wanna spend the money on Office just do download this for free and keep your money in your pocket

OpenOffice is the fastest performing office suite in existence. It doesn't suffer from frequent crashes like Microsoft Office does. OpenOffice also doesn't rely on legacy proprietary document formats like DOCX, although it does support them mainly for the purpose of converting them to the open document format.

Installed 3.3 of OpenOffice and 3.3 of LibreOffice today. I haven't had much time to do in depth testing, but both worked well for me on a document with some unusual formatting. Neither says release candidate. I downloaded them from the respective organizations' sites.
