    5 out of 5 stars Beats all competitors   August 26, 2008
    Stratiotes Doxha Theon (Richmond, Missouri)
    Open Office is, quite simply, the best office suite of applications on the market - bar none. It is not just free, it is superior in use to all competitors. For instance, it can read and convert or save in any of the common formats, including Microsoft formats. So even if you have old documents you want to keep in their current format, or if you share documents with Microsoft users, you will lose nothing. What you gain is a superior application in speed, reliability, and adherence to open standards such as Java and XML. Very highly recommended whether for any operation system, Mac, Microsoft, or Linux.


    5 out of 5 stars At Last! I Can Say Good Bye To Microsoft!   July 27, 2008
    D. Edward Farrar (Washington, DC)
    My most recent PC runs on Windows, same as all of its predecessors. But now, it is Windows Vista, an operating system so demanding of its hardware that the price of a computer with even average performance has gone through the roof. I found myself unable to afford both the computer and an Office Suite, until I discovered OpenOffice.

    I understand Microsoft has derisively declared that OpenOffice is "only" up to the level of MS Office 97. All I can say is that I recall being happy with MS Office 95, and did not see the subsequent introduction of talking paperclips as being quite the benefit that Microsoft evidently did. While I still miss some of the search features of MS Office, I have found OpenOffice to be everything I need in my office suite and it definitely cannot be beaten for the price!

    Even better, this program can run on non-Microsoft operating systems. I can now think seriously about ditching Windows for Linux without fear!

    Why pay hundreds bucks for other programs - this one is great. Takes a little getting used too, but still a great product.


    5 out of 5 stars Best Office Software   April 6, 2008

    I have owned the Open Office Software package for over a year now and it is one of my all-time best buys. I was used to the Microsoft Office product and the Open Office package made transition easy. You can even use Microsoft .doc files and send them to others with Open Office. The word processing software is better than Word, but is very similar in functionality. This has to be the best value on the Net for office software, and it is complete and fully integrated. Highly recommended!

    This expansive easy to use product handles all my office type needs. I don't run a business at home but it's great for letters with photo enclosures, addressing envelopes and it's there for other needs if I need it. I'm not qualified to comment on all the capabilities but I'll recommend it to other casual computer users who do not want to invest in written use software.
