Check http://www.openoffice.org/dev_docs/source/sys_reqs_30.html .  This

page list requirements by operating system.

If you use the free download, there is no cost.  You may also want to 
join the Distribution Project, though not required, at 
http://distribution.openoffice.org/index.html .

> 3.     Cost per user (standard version) for maintenance

Links to support can be found at http://support.openoffice.org/ , down 
the list you can find links to paid support.  This list is for users 
that do not need on-call support and questions are answered by users 
that volunteer their time and talent to help others.

> 4.     What functionalities do you get with it (i.e. word etc)

There is a word processor, Write.  There is a spreadsheet, Calc.  There 
is a presentation system, Impress.  There is a database, Base.  There is

  Draw.  More tools can be added via the extension manager.

You do not have to buy, see #2 above.

The user can "save as" to most of the Microsoft formats or the native 
.odf for each type of file.

I hope the above information helps.
