Open Office is great. Can do lots of file conversions and there are regular updates and enhancements to it.

Re: PL

Kingsoft Office is not a freeware. It costs a small fraction of what MS Office costs, but it is not free.

OOo is amazing.

Still slow? The last time I tried Open Office was a few years ago. Its startup time compared to MS Office was then quite long. Annoyingly long. Anybody any idea how it compares these days?

I found this statement interesting: "Microsoft has worked incredibly hard to become the standard in every single way..." This is entirely true of course, but that's not why it is so interesting. I wonder if the fact that Microsoft Office *is* such a standard hasn't helped everyone in some ways? For example, the de facto file format for word processing is .doc. Sure, OpenOffice can save in many formats, but if you save it as .doc you know it can be read just about anywhere. Regardless of the future of Microsoft Office, I think this will remain one of the benefits (few?) of the Office hegemony. -- Dustin Puryear Author, Best Practices for Managing Linux and UNIX Servers http://www.puryear-it.com

What I like about it is the fact that you can save the documents as .doc if you have to send them to somebody as attachments. Otherwise I just save them as open office document to keep the files in my computer. For word processing purposes, I also use AbiWord. It is only a standalone word processor application, nothing more, but it is cool.
