Hi, I'm a new user of the product and I'm curious; what's the purpose of developing OpenOffice? It seems there's already a couple of Microsoft solutions out there for folks who need word processing, database, spreadsheet capabilities; just wondering why the push to develop this suite. Thanks for yoru consideration; I look forward to your response. Daniel & Aimee Pantoja
OpenOffice is free to download and use. Here in Australia, Micosoft Office costs from $300 to $600 depending on which package you get. You do the math <grin>.
As a long time corporate user of MS products, I'm very glad to have migrated my own business to OpenOffice. The overall package has much better integration between applications, I find it easier to use, and there are functions that are simply not available in MS Office (the Navigator being the one that I use the most).
