OpenOffice.org 2.3 will officially be released on Monday. But if you're the impatient sort, you can download it this weekend. The software has been distributed to download mirrors including OSUOSL a few days early in order to make launch day run a bit more smoothly.All you have to do is select OpenOffice.org 2.3, choose your operating system and language, and away you go. There are a ton of bug fixes and feature updates since OpenOffice 2.2 was launched. Here are just a few.

Yes, amazingly, it's possible to have a sequel to a game called "The World's Hardest Game". It doesn't seem logically possible, since if the first one was actually the world's hardest, how could another one come along and share the moniker? It made me doubt the name in the first place.

It seems entry is already available in the file download manager but download is not already authorised.

That's odd. I managed to download and install it without a problem. Maybe they took action after they started getting a lot of attention.

I have Open Office 2.0
Does the upgrade install over it or do I need to uninstall the previous version.
Thanks in advance.
