It also handles graphics better than MS Office and pages better. It has
most of the features one really needs. Some of the features like
envelopes and mail merge are not as polsihed but do work ok. Most of
those issues are the way Linux handles printers and may be ok when
running Open Office under Windows.
What is nice using products like Open Office, Gimp, Firefox, Thunderbird
and the host of other free Open Source products is that once you learn
them you can carry your knowledge and experience over to Mac or Linux if
you want to go to other OS. You are no longer married to Microsoft with
their copy protection, Microsoft Genuine Disadvantage and the other crap
coming out of a company that USED to place the customer first.
If MS pulled their crap in the early days of computing they would have
gone the way of Lotus and Borland. Remember them?
