OpenOffice.org... able to unseat MS Office yet?
Microsoft Office
-Office 2003 Standard Edition: $399.99 (at CompUSA) -Office 2003 Standard Edition Upgrade: $239.99 -Created by one of the most evil companies ever to smear the Earth (Microsoft) -Closed source -An End-User License Agreement that allows Bill Gates to eat your babies. OpenOffice.org -OpenOffice 1.1: $0 (www.openoffice.org) -OpenOffice 1.1 Upgrade: $0 -Created by a less evil company (Sun) -Open source -Licensed under the LGPL (allows Richard Stallman to allow other people to eat your babies) I've been using MSOffice and (occasionally) WordPerfect Office for years. I just tried the new version of OpenOffice 1.1, and so far, it's done everything I need. It opens MSOffice documents without a hitch, with only minor, occsaional quirks in the conversion. It also saves files as MSOffice with only a few minor problems. So far, it has had every feature I've needed. And it's free. And it's open-source. And it's multi-platform. I'll take it. Anybody else tried it yet? Problems?
