OpenOffice is a great alternative to MS Office, which I only still use
as its my work standard (at the moment). I like the idea of an "open"
approach to software, and not the Microsoft (and other Windows software)
approach. In all honesty, as soon as there is a way for me to ditch MS
Publisher and the legacy files in that format, and an all-in-one
replacement for Outlook, I'll be using exclusively OpenOffice.
I have found that Thunderbird with the Lightning add on does
everything that I used Outlook 97 for. Plus, it allows me to
interconnect the address book in Thunderbird with OO.o so that I can
insert addresses in documents. I am also using the Thunderbird
address book as my system address book instead of the Windows address
book. I placed an icon for it in the quick launch area of the task
bar, and this works great.

As far as I know Thunderbird can also share spell checking dictionaries
with OpenOffice; see
