OpenOffice.org has just released the 3.0 Beta of the open source office productivity suite. This version includes new enhancements like MS Office 2007 import filters, ODF 1.2 support, and VBA support. Many of the new features pertain to the Calc spreadsheet component, including an optimization solver, workbook sharing, and 1024 columns per Calc sheet.

Perhaps the most significant part of this release is support for Mac OS X.

OpenOffice.org 3.0 Beta is now ready for download.
