You may have heard of Sun Microsystems'
StarOffice which is being offered as a viable and cheaper alternative to Microsoft Office.
Openoffice.org is the open source (or, free indefinitely) cousin of StarOffice. Staroffice used to be free as in you can freely download and install in as many computers as you like but Sun Microsystems has recently decided to charge for Staroffice. However, please do not fret as Openoffice.org will always be free and we are going to show you in this article how and why Openoffice.org instead of MS Office and StarOffice is for you.

Obviously. This picture was taken from starwars.com and then manipulated on Draw. Draw is a vector app rather than a raster one. It is useful for creating shapes and flow charts. But it can load images too as you can see.
The Draw and HTML editor shots are mine. The rest are William's.
