Open Office Works Very Well.
The CEO of one of my clients purchased a new laptop and needed to install the typical Office Suite of software. I suggested testing Open Office and he agreed. There are two options at www.openoffice.org one is to download the programs from the site for free or request a CD from one of the retailers listed at the site for $7.00. After looking at the download instructions and the estimated time for the download, we opted for the CD. It arrived in 2 days.
I was actually very surprised to see how well Word and Excel worked with this software. I am thinking Microsoft should be evaluating its business model considering Open Office is free.
