Provides free, high-caliber office-productivity tools; runs on multiple operating systems.
Provides fewer management tools and less clip art than its sibling, StarOffice 8; lacks an e-mail client; tech support supplied by fellow users.( because it free dowh )
OpenOffice 2, the freeware version of Sun Microsystems StarOffice 8, is a great deal for home and small-businesses users who don't mind browsing online forums for tech support. But enterprise users are better served by StarOffice 8.
OpenOffice is light than Microsoft Office 2003. Thats my bottomline.
