Open Office – The FREE and Open Productivity Suite

I began using Open Office around 2004 and have been an avid supporter of the AWESOME OFFERING at a most AWESOME PRICE ($0.00).  That’s right, it’s FREE for the download thanks to thousands of software developers worldwide who have contributed to making it an incredibly robust offering.

It has all the critical components you’ll find in that giant offering from Microsoft called Microsoft Office.

• Word Processing
• Spreadsheet
• Graphics
• Presentations
• Database

All there – fully functional and FREE.  The best part is that it will read and write the various Microsoft Office formats for each of its most popular components.
