Read today that OpenOffice has surpassed the 100 million download mark. A great achievement! It always amazes me when I get mates asking me whether they need Microsoft office on their new PC/Laptop that they might be considering to purchase. Sadly - alot of them haven't even heard of OpenOffice Once I enlighten them of this software, they're well chuffed with the fact that they have as good a product (or better) for FREE ! PC sales folks tend to pick on easy targets for selling of software that's not necessary. That and extended warranties are where some guys get their commission. No need for either in my view, the later given how cheap your basic PC or laptop has become to buy.
Big corporates, governments and the likes could save $1000000's on software costs if they woke up. They could probably save even more if they moved to the Free Solaris OS
Go download the latest edition of Openoffice now.
