Apache OpenOffice Word Processor hits the 100 million downloads mark.

I'm a writer and my word processor is extremely important to me. I don't have the $$$ to upgrade of MSWorks Office so this free download has been a boon to me. It does everything I need and even includes spell-check while I type – a life saver. Check it out @ http://sourceforge.net/blog/apache-...penoffice-hits-the-100-million-downloads-mark

 

I have downloaded it twice in a pinch. Didn't like it so much. I use Word and WordPerfect.

 

I use the Open Office at home and at work. We're a small company and my boss is the only one with a seat of Microsoft Office 2003. For everyone else I've installed Open Office.

I don't think the program is any worse than MS Office, but if you're used to MS Office, getting used to Open Office might be a little more tricky than if you'd just picked up first. While I admit my use of it is limited to a few Word and Excel type documents, I haven't found anything I wasn't able to do with Open Office that I could do with MS Office.
