How about saving $280? Doesn't that sound wonderful?
My husband works IT for a Major Company and he told me about this little doosey. If you have need for spreadsheets, word processing or creating slide shows on your computer this is a most excellent choice. There is no longer any need to fork out $280 for the Microsoft Office Suite, when Open Office provides fantastic software for FREE!
Advantages of OpenOffice as listed on their website:
-OpenOffice.org 3 is the result of over twenty years' software engineering. Designed from the start as a single piece of software, it has a consistency other products cannot match. A completely open development process means that anyone can report bugs, request new features, or enhance the software. The result: OpenOffice.org 3 does everything you want your office software to do, the way you want it to.
- OpenOffice.org 3 is easy to learn, and if you're already using another office software package, you'll take to OpenOffice.org 3 straight away. Our world-wide native-language community means that OpenOffice.org 3 is probably available and supported in your own language. And if you already have files from another office package - OpenOffice.org 3 will probably read them with no difficulty.
- Best of all, OpenOffice.org 3 can be downloaded and used entirely free of any licence fees. OpenOffice.org 3 is released under the LGPL licence. This means you may use it for any purpose - domestic, commercial, educational, public administration. You may install it on as many computers as you like. You may make copies and give them away to family, friends, students, employees - anyone you like.
Impressive! OpenOffice is so adequate that my husbands company (The General... if you catch my drift) has seriously considered switching all of their machines to the OpenOffice Suite. If it's good enough for them, well then I think it'll fit your needs.
