I used it for years and it is a great product. In many ways it is superior to microsoft office due to its cross platform compatibility. The only application I thought was a little behind from office was the impress application.(think Powerpoint) And since it is open source software people are always working on improving it. If I was not given a copy of office 2007 I would still be using open office.

Haha!

My dad used to have one of those, in the wooden chip form, that he carried to work every day for when he asked his crew why things weren't done.

I've used it off and for years and found it to to be more than adequate.

I like Office more, but when the choice is hundreds of dollars worth of Microsoft Office or free OpenOffice, OpenOffice wins.
