OpenOffice, the Sun-sponsored open source project, has hit rev 2.2, claiming it's "a real alternative to Microsoft's recently released Office 2007."

Apparently they've enhanced the word processor, spreadsheet, presentations and database and figure it's now an "easier upgrade path for existing Microsoft Office users."

It's supposed to protect users from newly discovered vulnerabilities that leave them open to attack if they open malware-laden documents or access infected web sites. The community has also gussied it with some of the new cosmetic changes in Vista.
