So far I have not found a bug in OpenOffice. It does everything that Office2003 does and MORE. For example, if you have a word document that would like to convert to PDF you will probably get Adobe full version. I know there are other small programs out there that can convert, but the most known program is Adobe. Anyway, with OpenOffice you can convert it and you do not need to buy an extra program to do that.

Yes, I do use Office2003 because since I work for a college, I'm allow to install it on my personal computer, but my other computers I have OpenOffice. Why pay $600 for Office 2003 full version?, when you can make a small donation and still not going over $600.

Office 2003. VBA is reason enough for me to use it. I can accomplish things with spreadsheets using VBA in 1/100 the time it takes others to do the same thing.

office 2003 but then i got it cheap though work.

but then i find openoffice is qute good also and use it sometimes.

If i had to pay full price for office 2003 then i'd probably not bother with it and just use openoffice.

Ask the same question on a pro-Linux/OSS forum and you'll get the opposite result...
Ummm... Let's just think about that one for a second. :ermm:

You can't run Office 2k3 in Linux. So I guess that little detail will kind of skew the results a bit, you think? ;)

As for me, I prefer to use OO.o. MS Office is a better product, but the features I use are in both products. I don't VBA. I don't collaborate in realtime with other users through a Windows server. I just do the occasional word document and spreadsheet.

OO.o does a great job.

I use both. Don't know that I'll be upgrading to MS Office 2007 though. Probably will continue to use both until I can switch fully to the free one.

2003 for me :D Because it's fast and it's never crashed (for me, before people say anything)

Although I believe 2007 is better.
