I have legal versions of MS Office, but I've been seeing alot about OpenOffice in the news lately. I headed on over to http://www.openoffice.org and downloaded the latest Win32 build. And you know what?
It freaking rocks!
Vector illustration apps, fantastic application configuration, useful right click options...I found it to be far easier, more natural than MS Office. I opened, edited and closed all of my MS file types with ease, created formatted docs on the fly and actually enjoyed using a document editor that didn't have some cartoon charater trying to get my attention everytime I typed a word!
So with OpenOffice & The Gimp, open source has two of my most used apps covered for free! Now, does anyone know of an opensource flash editor that can run either on WinXP or Redhat 7 ??? (I'm finding less reasons all the time not to make the switch...to Linux)
I'm just curious what everyone thinks about OpenOffice...
