What's up in OOo 3.1?

| At the weekend the upload of DEV300m39 build started. This is the first

Loving this... created a photoslideshow in OOo 3 on a SuSE Linux 11.1
PPC notebook, moved it to the server, now viewing and editing it in OOo
2.3.1 in a virtualised xp session (with only one compatibility issue -
default styles have changed slightly between versions, but no biggie,
hit no to applying the old default styles and the slideshow looks
exactly the same). Via the Debian cluster. Heading on a P4 notebook
running SuSE Pro 9.2.*
Can a consumer Windows installation do all that, out of the box?
*Why would I want to go to all that trouble?
a: because I can;
b: because I will NOT allow xp to run outside of a one-button-kill
sandbox if I absolutely have to run it: I just don't trust it that far;
c: because I trust Linux as a VM host much more than I trust NT as one;
d: because I love to experiment and find workable solutions to problems
I might run into from time to time (like the odd PC game that will not
run in an API running on the Linux kernel, but will run on xp running in
a VM - example: Generals.
e: because I needed a solution that will allow me complete crossplatform
support whatever software I might choose to run - win32, BSD, UNIX,
Linux, MacOS/Classic**... my cluster does the fargin' /lot/.
**having three ppc nodes in there helps a lot for the really finicky
stuff. Processing power is only limited by the number of nodes I can
plug in before I overload my 7.2KW power feed...
