Enter OpenOffice.org 1.0, which became available for download last week. OpenOffice.org is a freely available, open-source office productivity suite that delivers enough functionality and Office file format compatibility to make it a compelling replacement for the Microsoft suite and a good option for Linux and Solaris users.
