So why not try something else? I've been using the open-source software version of Sun Office called Open Office for sometime now. I like it. Is that because it is better than MS Office? Not really. It's pretty big too and overloaded with features. It has good but not perfect compatibility with MSO. But it is two things I like
It's 'Good Enough'
It's FREE!
Now I know I've given you (all three of my readers) caution on 'free' offers but there are good guys too.
And I think anything that forces MS to compete instead of just sitting back thinking of new ways to rule the computer world is better for us all.
