OpenOffice good enough as replacement to MS Office

If you haven't tried the latest OpenOffice version, then I suggest you do so after reading this article.

OpenOffice have come a long way and is now prime to replace MS Office. For average users, OpenOffice boast feature sets that are comparable if not better than MS Office. Folks who have shunned OpenOffice before for lack of features and stability issues are now embracing OpenOffice.

Aside from the feature sets, OpenOffice is free and runs on almost all popular operatings systems. Here in Philippines, the license for a home edition of MS Office is at around Php4.5k. Why spend that amount when you can get the same for free? Why spend a peso for a feature on MS Office that you will never use? The learning curve from switching MS Office to OpenOffice is a non-issue. For an average user it would just take an hour or so to get used with the features, functionalities and all the bells and whistles.

So grab the latest version of OpenOffice and spend your Php4.5k for something more valuable.
