  Strengths: Ease of use, doesn't try to impose trendy styles, price

  Weaknesses: Requires archaic Master Document for changing headers in sequential sections, i.e. book chapters

  Overall Evaluation: M$ Office makes me nuts with graphics placement and captions. That's easier (but still not perfect) in OpenOffice. Beginning with M$ Office 2007, Microsoft has implemented trendy default styles that are going to visually shout a document's age, and altering the default template is not for the faint-hearted. At first glance I loved 2007, but quickly went back to my beloved workhorse, OpenOffice for 95% of my work.

  Strengths: Generally the same functions as Microsoft Office. Spreadsheet save icon changes when file needs to be saved which Office does not do.

  Weaknesses: Some of the copy functions are not as easy to use as Office

  Overall Evaluation: Very good but I have only used the spreadsheet so far.

  Strengths: This does everything MS office does, is a pretty fast download, and has very straight-forward UI. And of couse, it's free!

  Weaknesses: The UI isn't as is polished as MS, can be a pain to your eyes after long periods of use.

  Overall Evaluation: This is the best free office product out there, it contains everything you need. Not much features, just straightforward, and being straightforward it has no problems at all. It does everything MS office does, absolutely everything, just looks differnt and the UI is a bit hard to use, but after all, it's free!
