Unless your hand is forced by your company’s “legacy” IT infrastructure, there aren’t too many reasons to buy Microsoft Office anymore. Nothing’s wrong with the productivity software standard, except for the price tag: It has one. There are several alternatives that replace it or improve upon it for the attractive price of zero dollars.

OpenOffice.org, a project of Oracle, Sun Microsystems and others, launches as one program, rather than three or four separate ones. It takes its time starting up, but works smoothly after that.The awkwardly named software duplicates.
