Editor's Review of OpenOffice.org
Not happy with the idea of a Web-based office application? Then you want the downloadable OpenOffice.org, the free competitor to Microsoft Office. It's a full suite, with a word processor, spreadsheet, presentation program, database, and drawing program--and, for ubergeeks, a "mathematical function calculator" (if you have to ask what it is, you don't need it).
No need to worry about compatibility with Microsoft Office formats, because it handles all of those, as well as Open Source formats as well. Each of the programs in the suite offers just about all the power you'll need.
If there are any drawbacks to this free suite, it's that the interface isn't as polished as Microsoft Office, and it does lack a few bells and whistles. Still, free is free, and if you're looking for a way to get away from spending hundreds of dollars for a suite, it's a great solution.
Note: This program is donationware. It is free to try, but the authors accept and encourage donations towards further development. This link takes you to the vendor's site, where you can download the latest version of the software.
