I just made my annual donation to
NeoOffice. If you want to deal with
MS Office and OpenOffice.org and ODF documents on the Mac and you don’t want
to buy any overpriced opaque binaries, it’s your best bet. The
new news
is that that the latest NeoOffice (2.2.2) startup is irritatingly slow on my
2GHz MacBook. Which, you see, is good news, because previous
combinations of older NeoOffices and older Macs started up painfully,
agonizingly, slow. For those of us who live on the Web, at this point in
history it’s hard to feel much love for office-doc processing software; but of
its kind, Neo is really not bad.

Or you could just run your favorite flavor of virtual machine technology on your MacBook (e.g., Parallels or Fusion) and install Ubuntu with Open Office.
