Smart Computing recommends StarOffice
"Whatever the reason, we wish it hadn’t happened. Instead of sporting the traditional menus and toolbars that we have grown accustomed to using, Office 2007 features unfamiliar components such as tabbed ribbons and a quick-access toolbar nestled in the upper-left corner of the program window.

Of course, most users will continue to invest in Microsoft (and, to a lesser extent, Corel) software simply out of habit. We encourage users to consider alternatives such as Sun’s StarOffice 8, which earns our Smart Choice designation once again. Why spend $150 or $300 when you can get top-of-the-line capabilities for less than $75?"
