Word Processor Review
,----[ Quote ]
| For myself, here are my own personal choices within each category
| and the briefest reasons why.
|
| Major Word Processor
| StarOffice/OpenOffice, because of its universal file format in ODF,
| it's roadmap, and the fact that it is Open source.

Open Office vs. Microsoft Office

| This has been just a short overview comparing Open Office to Microsoft
| Office to demonstrate that you don't have to pay a lot of money to get
| a great Office Suite. In fact, you may not have to spend any money to
| get a great Office Suite.

Microsoft Office or OpenOffice?
,----[ Quote ]
| Let's turn to Microsoft Office. Again, it brings in a ton of
| revenue to Redmond, even though there are full office productivity
| suites that compete with it. My guess is that many of you can't
| name one though -- and that is what Microsoft counts on, which is
| branding power. The full-featured OpenOffice productivity suite
| is pretty darn impressive (I've used it), and it's completely
| free and interoperable with Microsoft Office (not sure about
| Office 2007). Why don't more people use it then? Lack of knowing
| it exists is a possibility, and having to download the suite or
| order it for about $10 on CD may be obstacles. Plus, you can't
| find it on Best Buy shelves. If customers start becoming smarter
| and find out out about OpenOffice or even Google Inc.'s Google
| Apps, could a large piece of Microsoft's kingdom come
| crashing down?

NeoOffice: It's Ready for Primetime
,----[ Quote ]
| Four weeks ago I decided to try using Neo Office, the Open Source
| word processor, spreadsheet, presentation and drawing program. Neo
| Office is based on Open Office which was created by Sun Microsystems,
| and then released out into the wild as an Open Source project. It
| was developed to work on Windows, Linux and Mac OSX.
