OpenOffice.org 2.4.0
,----[ Quote ]
| One positive aspect about Calc is that it actually offers around 30 per cent
| more functions than are offered in Excel (roughly 338 in Calc versus 233 in
| Excel).
|
| [...]
|
| In addition, most users will only use a fraction of the available features in
| proprietary programs such as Microsoft Office or Corel WordPerfect. The word
| processor is usually the most popular application in any office suite, and
| considering the diverse functions available in Writer, many users should find
| OpenOffice.org will fit their needs.

Huge Success for the ODF Community
,----[ Quote ]
| OpenOffice.org, which is just one implementation of ODF, is currently being
| downloaded more than 1.2M times per week and being distributed by popular
| ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
| hardware products like the Asus Eee PC. Government organizations around the
| world are adopting OpenOffice.org and/or ODF and have started to help each
| other with their adoption challenges. Thus, ODF has become a "market force"
| that can't be ignored anymore. Thus, again, congratulations and thank you to
| all the people who have contributed to the success of OpenOffice.org and ODF
| so far! Well done!
