Verdict

OpenOffice.org 2.0, the freeware version of Sun's StarOffice 8, is a great deal for small-business users who don't mind browsing online forums for technical support. But enterprises are better served by StarOffice 8... Read Full Review.

Pros

  • Provides free, high-calibre office-productivity tools
  • Runs on multiple operating systems

Cons

  • Provides fewer management tools (and less clip art) than its sibling, StarOffice 8
  • Lacks an email client
  • Technical support is supplied by fellow users
