I don't think it's just the price (I think that we should all contribute to OpenOffice.org in one way or another). It's mostly that OpenOffice.org is based on Open Source. Users can change the programme to suit their needs without having to worry about copy-rights etc. This what really can kill MS in the market. It's also significant that other companies support Open Source, such as IBM and HP.

Given the price you pay for OOo, I'd say it's better than Microsoft Office. When you're paying more than $200 for anything, you can expect it to have a fwe bells and whistles. The vast majority of the stuff that MSO offers that OOo doesn't is not something you're going to need as an average user. OOo does everything else just as well... and at a price I can live with!
