All the same programs as MS Office Professional, including a database program, a presentation program like PowerPoint, spreadsheets, etc. MS Office always used to crash on me and I would loose my documents, but I have never had a problem with Open Office. The program definitely has fewer bugs, functions faster, is sleeeker and has pretty much the same layout so it is easy to use. I have Open Office for Windows and will never buy MS Office ever again. The best part is the compatibility. Using Open Office, you can save documents in MS Office formats so that you can still share docs with people who do not have Open Office and you can even share docs with people who use Macs. Why doesnt every software maker do this!?!?! I switched to Open Office two years ago and so far, I LOVE IT!

OO is good only if u hate MS. Excel still rules. I have not used any MS Office related things for last 2 years. Totally OO. But I still find many issues with OO. The kid needs to grow up to bring the daemon down. My client: I wil send u a file. Its in Excel.

Some functions with 'rand()' didn't work in open office and did in MS also other things which worked vice versa. Waiting for a standard to be established, then MS can keep their expensive stuff to themselves :) There are still a lot of issues with compatibility which i have personally faced and had to redo a lot of stuff…
