OpenOffice.org 2 is the leading open-source office software suite for word processing, spreadsheets, presentations, graphics, databases and more. It is available in many languages and works on all common computers. It stores all your data in an international open standard format and can also read and write files from other common office software packages. It can be downloaded and used completely free of charge for any purpose.
The new version of Microsoft Office — Microsoft Office 2007 — has been on the market for a few months now.
Some people grabbed it quickly because they always want the latest and greatest version of their software. Others bought it because it's the current Office version and they needed Office — and they didn't know any better.
In this case, "better" is OpenOffice, the free open-source office suite that can read and write Microsoft Word, Microsoft Excel and Microsoft Powerpoint files.
Not only does OpenOffice have its own versions of those programs (Writer, Calc and Impress), it also includes Base, its database program; Math, its mathematical formula display tool; and Draw, its drawing program.
If you haven't tried out OpenOffice, download it and give it a try. You can probably save money by using it instead of Microsoft Office 2007. After all, OpenOffice is free.
