Nice

I did not tested koffice2 yet, but I will install kubuntu packages this night right during the lunar eclipse :)
I want to see what is new in krita, it is a nice image editor with a much better interface than gimp IMHO, but was lacking some features and had some bugs in it's kde3 incarnation, what is absolutely normal once this software is still in it's infancy.

Multiplatform Support
by T. J. Brumfield on Wednesday 20/Feb/2008, @06:25

This is the biggest thing with me. I have to use Windows boxes at work. I dual-boot on my main desktop. I want to use the same suite on both Windows and Linux.
The moment I can run KOffice on Windows, and import Office 2003 docs reasonably well, I'm switching.

Slightly off topic: Google takes a more active rol

Google is taking a more active role in supporting Linux & Wine.
http://www.tectonic.co.za/?p=2162
I'm guessing it won't be long until they will support the KDE 4.X platform more actively. (I hope!!)
Either way, we are thankful for google's role in the open source community.
Google - please become a patron of KDE.
Hopefully Google will host the next release party as well. I loved the webcast and Aaron Seigo's keynote. :-)

Changelog complete?

Is the changelog complete? The OpenDocument improvements are missing and almost all changes are from the drawing apps, but none from the office apps.

Still a long way to go

Tested it a bit. Not even cell colors in spreadsheets is supported yet.
Koffice per se is getting very nice, but odf on it still have a lot of work ahead. Anyway a very nice version, run very well.
I just don't like how koffice uses too much screen, those new file dialog are just too big, and Krita panel by default don't even fit in my 1400x900 screen.
