Unless you want the Flash export feature that bad, I'd say chill and wait for 
the release and upgrade then. Its not that much better than OOo 1.0.3 which is 
what I'm back to now. Of course, I only use it when people mistakenly send me 
something important in one of MS's formats so I don't know how typical my 
experiences are. HTH
