Four alternatives to Microsoft Office

,----[ Quote ]
| Microsoft Office is so common that very few computer users are even aware
| that there are many good, and often free, alternatives to the software. Here
| are four of the better alternatives.
|
| OpenOffice.org
|
| This has to be the number one alternative to Microsoft Office. The open
| source productivity tool includes all of the features offered by MS Office
| but for free. Version 3.0 of OpenOffice was released earlier this year and it
| includes full compatibility with documents created in Microsoft Office, the
| biggest stumbling block to switching to a new office suite.
