OpenOffice.org

Does anyone here use this? I'm thinking about downloading it but have always used Microsoft Office and wondered how the 2 compare.
I had an OEM version of Office 2003 but gave it away with my old PC as the licence was only valid on that machine and don't particularly want to spend upwards of

I don't use it but have heard a lot of good things about it, especially if you want compatibility with Microsoft Office on a LINUX or Mac machine. And the price is right.

Its pretty good to use, i used it a lot on linux at uni...never encountered any problems either

I use ito for stuff that isnt word (spreadsheet, presentations etc) and it is VERY similar to Office....just with a few fewer settings.....and it's free!

I'm using it, and finding it great. No problems with files from my school computers (running ms office), and my school computers dont have problems with openoffice files. Just save everything as a .doc and its good.

I've not had any problems with openoffice and vista so far.

I downloaded it earlier.
I'm impressed, very similar to MS Office though (not a bad thing)
Good value for the price  ;)  ;D
