Open Office - Good Software?
I'm about to install Open Office for Windows. I've heard of it before, but today I decided to lash out and download it. Its only 45MB which is great, and has a bit torrent version for download, which took less than 10 minutes.
For those of you who don't know, its an excellent alternative to Microsoft office. It includes most the tools, and many different ones. The feature that struck my attention most was the ability to save as a pdf file. I've always wanted to make pdf's but didn't want to pay for a subscription at adobe.com. Believe it or not, you can also open and save it in a Word Doc format for people still on Microsoft Office. Cool.
Wish me luck, I'll post soon saying how it turned out after the install!

I have Open Office installed for OS X. I also have it installed on my desktop computer which is dual boot / Win XP / Linux Mandrake.
I don't need office applications often but I thought I'd check it out anyway.
If you don't already have it, GIMP offers an app that does all of the things Photoshop does. (FREE)
Good luck with Open Office! I am pleased with how it works and I look forward to future updates by it's developers.
