OpenOffice is great!

I admit that I am naturally anti-Microsoft but that's only for good reasons, their software is not very good and its very expensive for home users. All five of our home PCs are Microsoft-free zones as much as possible (sadly, three of them do use Windows); we use Mozilla software for browsing (Firefox), email (Thunderbird) and diaries (Sunbird) and we all use OpenOffice for documents, presentations and spreadsheets. It is really good software, it does cool stuff like creating PDFs, and it's free. Once you've tried it you'll never want to feed the Microsoft monster again. Buy me a beer with the money you saved instead!
