OpenOffice.org 2.0 Release Delayed

Looks like the coders working on OpenOffice are not going to be popping champagne and kicking back this weekend. The long anticpated launch of version 2.0 has been delayed due to a “serious showstopper” in the code. Nice to hear someone admit that and not the usual lame excuses.
OpenOffice.org had hoped to celebrate its fifth birthday today by launching the next generation of its office software suite, but a glitch has delayed release of the product for one week. According to a blog posting by OpenSource.org community member Stefan Taxhet, “a serious showstopper” apparently related to graphics was detected at the last moment, and developers agreed to postpone the release until the problem has been fixed. The delay also allows developers to apply patches for other problems with OpenOffice.org 2.0 related to the printing of text and two issues related to Mac OS X.
