Features, Office 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.

OO like television. You can see nice TV free of charge, but you'll have an ad. But you can a spent a money, and you'll see just clear TV.
If you are a part of 1% (or near) power user - welcome to pay money to M$. But if just what you need - it's a word editor plus some simplest calculation at table editor - OO is good choice for you.
Of course, if you like to buy full-equipped G-Mercedes that will be used just for driving to next door, than very expensive and stupid Office - for you ;)
