What exactly is OpenOSX Office?
We have hand built and customized the powerful open source "GNOME Office" 
for Mac OS X, delivering complete integration, installed by our fast and 
user-friendly package.

GNOME is a popular free desktop environment included with many 
distributions of Linux including RedHat. Mac OS X, having its own desktop 
environment, does not include the exhaustive list of support libraries 
required to run GNOME Office, so with great care and pride, we have built 
them for you.

In the process wehave married the GNOME environment with Mac OS X offering 
native functionality including preferred web browser support, Print Center 
support, linkable files and our exclusive "OpenOSX Office" Cocoa 
application that enables system-wide recognition of supported file types 
including Microsoft® Word and Excel documents. This allows any of the many 
supported file types to be opened in the appropriate software by 
double-clicking or dragging files to its icon.

To our knowledge there simply is not a faster or easier way possible to 
get similar functionality installed in Mac OS X. In the same time it takes 
to copy 480 MB to your hard disk, you can be running this awesome suite, 
complete with our exclusive "OpenOSX Office" application.

There are other ways to get "Gnome Office" working on your Mac, but if 
time is money, look no further and accept nothing less than our thorough 
"OpenOSX Office" solution. Seasoned system administrators and computer 
novices alike value the ease and peace of mind that our streamlined 
installation offers.
