Do I really need to use Microsoft Office - or will OpenOffice do just fine for desktop productivity?

Just recently, I say goodbye to Office 2003 and say hello to OpenOffice.

Consider these things:

You need to pay for Microsoft Office (and it's expensive!) while OpenOffice is free:

• you may download OpenOffice.org completely free of any license fees
• install it on as many PCs as you like
• use it for any purpose - private, educational, government and public administration, commercial…
• pass on copies free of charge to family, friends, students, employees, etc.

Writer, for the most part, is like Word - and Calc, for the most part, is like Excel. That’s all I really need. Let's forget about limited editions and 60-day timeouts.

Why should you use OpenOffice?

• Great software
• Easy to use
• and it's free
