I completely agree with Jack. Completely free, and can open almost any text document. I have it installed on both my linux and mac.

I don't know, open office has a pretty horrible user interface. I actually quite like MS Office. Its pretty damn good.

I found this story funny because MS is being banned from selling one of its flagship products...

I don't know, I think OpenOffice's interface is better than the new "ribbon." Microsoft are idiots. A truly intuitive interface isn't easy to learn, its what the user already knows. But microsoft is overriding the sensible Windows interface in Windows Media, Office, and more.

I think it's quite funny that people rip Microsoft apart but there the biggest software developer on the planet so they must be doing something right...

I think it's funny and I agree that Microsoft Word is there flagshi software and has now been banned in the US....Lol. Thank God I'm in England...Lol
