OpenOffice

[Paul Moore]

I moved to OO when 1.0 was released, and it is all I use now.  I used Excel to 
do Monthly Usage reports that pulled from other files, and to my surprise, it 
all worked.  The only downside is that you have to learn where the features are 
buried.  While this is a minor thing, it is still an issue if you plan on 
converting an entire site to it....  As we all know, end users hate change!  To 
sum it all up, anyone and everyone I know that uses it, LOVES it.
