Openoffice suite

At home I tend to use Google Documents & Spreadsheets.

You can save all your stuff online so you dont' need to remember to take a memory stick with you from ofice to office/remember to email it/remember which company network you saved it on.

If you want you can also download/import it to any other populur office suite.

All you need it a google mail account.

Anyone use the openoffice software suite? I'm thinking of downloading this to use in place of ms-office...microsoft prices are way too much for my tight pockets

I use it as MS Office is not available for my main OS (Linux). It will do everything a regular user may want to do with MS Office. It is just a matter of getting used to the slightly different placement of certain options in the menus.
Go for it!

We use OpenOffice for all the work computers, only the finance dept have MS Office, it works fine for everyones needs.

I really wanted to like OpenOffice, but found it so slow and clunky...

I use it. Just as good as MS Office and FREE.

Yeah... i use it, because I am a linux head. I must run Linux or OSX. Windows is not close to stable for me.

OSX runs MS office, and if I was to run OSX i would pick MS office.
But, I prefer linux because its amazing so, I chose Open Office.

Its grand. I dont use it much. I dont like it much. But, its grand. They are trying, I will give them that. It is heavy, and slow. It looks ugly enough to me. It seems to just keel over now and again. But, the job usually gets done.
