By end of the year.

Read http://www.openoffice.org/about_us/1.1press_releaseb.html


"Versions for Mac OS X, FreeBSD and Solaris (x86) will be available later this year. Other platforms continue in development."

You're welcome.

It's good to have OO as nice alternative to M$. Especialy for buyers of pro Macs (PowerMac or PowerBook) that do not include AppleWorks. Instead of shelling couple of 100s $ for MS Office, we have capable and free alternative.
I am using it on my Linux and Win machines since 1.0 release and I really liked 1.1 features. Finally an easy way to create PDFs on X86 machines.
