OpenOffice.org
OxygenOffice Professional is based on OpenOffice.org. OpenOffice.org the
product is a multi-platform office productivity suite. It includes the key
desktop applications, such as a word processor, spreadsheet, presentation
manager, and drawing program, with a user interface and feature set similar
to other office suites. Sophisticated and flexible, OpenOffice.org also
works transparently with a variety of file formats, including those of
Microsoft Office.
Version 2 - another first for OpenOffice.org
OpenOffice.org Version 1 was the first product to deliver the benefits of
open source software to mass-market users, delivering essential everyday
software tools completely free of charge. Translated into over 60 languages,
available on all major computing platforms (Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X X11,
GNU/Linux, Solaris), OpenOffice.org Version 1 is now in use by tens of
millions of delighted users worldwide.
With Version 2, it gets even better:
* the first office suite to use the new OASIS OpenDocument format, the
future-proof international standard for office software (ISO/IEC 26300)
* easier to install, with a whole new look and feel, matched to the type of
computer in use
* more intuitive, more easy to use than ever, with a host of new usability
features
* introducing a major new component, Base: an easy-to-use database manager
with a fully integrated database
* more compatible with other software packages -- now understands even
obscure and rarely used features in major competitors
But the licence is still the same: you may download OpenOffice.org Version 2
completely free of any licence fees, use it for any purpose-- private,
educational, government and public administration, commercial -- and pass on
copies free of charge to family, friends, students, employees, etc.
