OpenOffice for Mac OS X without X11 is taking its time

It's a shame, but not really catastrophic. On the one hand, there's already a very usable X11 implementation for Jaguar, and on the other hand, X11 is likely to become a standard component with Panther and should be even more tightly integrated (for example, X11 applications should be able to be started normally by double-clicking and will load X11 if necessary). This would give X11 a similar status to the Classic environment: not perfectly integrated, but at least well integrated enough to live with. And for those willing to pay a few euros and support a German software company, there's still Papyrus X - we'll certainly forgive them for calling it Papyrus OS/2 in the page title. At heise online news, you can find the original article.

I found the original article at RP-Online: Politik.
