This is some free software thats about the same as Microsoft Office. I mean its like ALMOST the same, and its free vs MS Office $399...

My work is going to be switching over to this free stuff since we have like 70 comps and I think 4 license's for MS Office...lol

What can I say, my company is cheap and they wont buy software??? idiots...

Open Office is a program that is used by the Linux community. I love my Open Office suite. I have it on my Windows 98 box, my Red Hat Linux 6.2 box, and my Red Hat Linux 9.0 box. It is a great alternative to Windows and it works extremely well. there are some compatibility issues with Microsoft office like with the Excel program...but not enough to deter you away from the product.

Enjoy!
