OpenOffice.org 1.1 review

Thursday 20 November 2003, 8:12 AM

Cross-platform, open standards & FREE!

Highly functional.
Migrating from MS Office entails little or no effort at all.
I know! Because we have done it already in our company employing 100 employees.

Nothing cannot be done in OpenOffice.
If it is not there, it can be configured/programmed.
Now, that is POWER!!!

Documents format use open standard. NO MORE VENDOR LOCK-IN!
Can read & write MS Office files.
And best of all, it is CROSS-PLATFORM! (runs on Windows, Linux, etc.)
That is FREEDOM!!!

Verdict

This feature-rich, flexible and, above all, free office suite is much more than a refuge for the anti-Microsoft tendency. It works, it’s reliable and it’s useful.

Featured Talkback

Why do so many (virtually all) software packages think that they are so important that they have to be started automatically every time the computer boots? What is the largest number of "speed access", "update check", "camera download" and whatever other background programs you have ever seen running? Of those, how many did you really need?
