Better interoperability
Go-oo has built in OpenXML import filters and it will import your Microsoft Works files. Compared with up-stream OO.o, it has better Microsoft binary file support (with eg. fields support), and it will import WordPerfect graphics beautifully. If you are reliant on Excel VBA macros - then Go-oo offers the best macro fidelity too. If you expect your spreadsheets to calculate compatibly, or you get embedded Visio diagrams in your documents, you'll want Go-oo.
Better functionality
Go-oo's user interface is more familiar, with lots of small pieces of polish. We have built-in (working) multimedia integration on Linux, a beautiful solver component, and your Chinese should look sane. We also integrate with your system better by default: eg. enabling native file-selectors on Linux.
A Faster application
From first-time startup, where we sort I/O to reduce seek cost, to a highly optimised second start application and a systray quick-starter on Linux we are faster. We use less memory than up-stream, we link faster, use better system allocators, and don't waste so much time & memory in the registry. Go-oo performance is hard to beat.

This was just what OO needs - first a lack of active developers (of whom most are employed by sun), then the oracle buyout, now another fork :/
That said, the changes look good. Not tried it but I hope they at least try and push some of the patches to upstream.

It's Novell how stay behind it.
Ubuntu & Debian provides Go-OO in their repositories. To install it just type as root
| Code: | | # apt-get install openoffice.org |
Archlinux does it too
| Code: | | pacman -S go-openoffice |

If that's the case, is this just the continuation of the Ximian (who Novell acquired a couple of years back) OpenOffice?
