Don't have $500.00 to spend for Microsoft Office 2007? How about a free office suite that is compatible with Microsoft Office and many other office suites? For instance, you open and write documents in Microsoft Word format! Sound good? Well you can download it at OpenOffice.org. Please don't expect loads of pretty colors or an automatic dog-walker to be included. This is NOT a Microsoft product. You can expect fully functional applications that rival Word, Excel, etc. It is sponsored by Sun Microsystems and has been available to download for free several years now.
It runs on Windows operating systems, Linux, Mac and others. Tell you what, just click on the OpenOffice link (not the logo, the second link inside the above paragraph) and go read the reviews that can be accessed from that page. The eWeek review is a good one. This suite may be Spartan when it comes to flashing lights, bells and whistles, but it is a really nice bundle of applications. The cost ain't too bad either! Again, it's free! Hope this helps.
