If it's a comprehensive office suite you're looking for, try the latest version of StarOffice 9 Beta at no-charge. It's got tons of new features, now works on your Mac, and lets you extend functionality with cool add-ons called extensions.  There's so much useful stuff in this release that it's tough to boil it down to the key ones, but here is a sneak peek at the new features by main application:

   * Writer - improved and much easier note taking, zoom slider for
     easy zooming in and out, easy editing of multiple documents
   * Impress - Presenter view, native tables (so you don't have to copy
     and paste tables from as spreadsheet), presentation file size
     minimizer
   * Calc - new Solver tool, new charting functionality including
     better 3-D, 1024 rows, spreadsheet sharing for collaboration or
     concurrent editing
   * Base - report builder tool
   * PIM - And of course the calendar extension to Mozilla which
     provides effective mail/calendar or Personal Information Manager
     (PIM) functionality

And general features include Mac support, improved Microsoft Office compatibility, fresh set of icons, a re-designed Start Menu, an extension manager and an online update feature which alerts you when updates are available and if you allow, install the updates.

We have created a thriving extension framework for StarOffice/StarSuite and OpenOffice.org and have seven powerful, free extensions for StarOffice 9 Beta such as the PDF Importer, Weblog Publisher (blogger) and a MediaWiki publisher.  See sun.com/staroffice/extensions for download instructions.  In addition, a full list of all extensions for OpenOffice.org can be found at the extensions repository [repository should link to http://extensions.services.openoffice.org/]

StarOffice has always been known for its strong interoperability and StarOffice 9 is no different.  It support Microsoft Office including import of Microsoft Office 2007 OOXML , PDF/A, ODF 2.0, HTML, Flash and many graphic formats.  In addition to the Mac, StarOffice 9 runs on Solaris, Windows and Linux.   All this means that you can share files with just about anyone using any operating system, office suite or hardware.
