To tell you the truth I haven’t even once tried this Open Office
I am still using Microsoft Office 2007 but I will give it a try. Thanks for bringing this to spotlight.
Never used it before. But this time it looks more promising than ever. I’ll download it once I get over with my illness.
I prefer OpenOffice to MS Office. It feels less bloated to me. I hate how MS Office always wants to “help” me in ways I don’t want it to.
Open Office is good, but not good enough (coz I had some problems with Microsoft Office users)
In my Laptop I’ve Office 2004 installed but in my PC, I don’t have any office softies installed. I don’t need them. Occasionally to open files, now we have various online versions for free….
grundgy -well online tools are handy but when u offline or in the middle of journey with no wifi around u might need such
Hmmm
Nice news
I like Open Office
I am sure Open Office will defeat MS office in every aspect.
Well you can get staroffice(a commercial version of Sun’s openoffice) and hence with more features than openoffice with google pack!!
Read my article for the info.

Those of you haven’t tried this, should give it a try
I’ll not say it’s great, but it’s worth a try. There are some niggles here and there though.
@Pete S: Haha yes, people also don’t seem to like that F1 Microsoft animated helper.


@Ashwin: Same here. I don’t have any office suites installed on my computer
@Rahul: I don’t have a lappy, so that’s not a problem to me
@Siddharth: Let’s see.
@Indyank: Thanks for dropping by and sharing that piece of information.
This is a good alternative to MS word. I’ll try it.

You really don’t need Office softwares unless you are working on something/officially. MS office is a bloated need for personal use.
I do use OpenOffice, i don’t have latest MS Office. thanks for the info but i will wait until it releases officially, becoz with the pre releases sometime there may be packaging errors and missing files.
well i have used open office…n i must say it is much better if you work in open office as compared specially when it comes to using templates in open office.
@Ram, Abhishek: Thanks for sharing your views
Good life ahead for openoffice users as IBM has decided to back open office …It will get more better features soon
Microsoft won’t be feeling good
I simply love openoffice, it certainly is compact and quite useful for me!
Want to start your private office arms race right now?
I just got my own USB rocket launcher
Awsome thing.
Plug into your computer and you got a remote controlled office missile launcher with 360 degrees horizontal and 45 degree vertival rotation with a range of more than 6 meters - which gives you a coverage of 113 square meters round your workplace.

I would like a copy of Open Office on disc. We are not able to download the program off your website. We are Aveson Charter School and we are loading it on all our computers.
