OpenOffice can't be exactly like Microsoft Office.  I
would think there would be some copyright problems
there.  PC Magazine has an excellent article on
OpenOffice 2.0 at
http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,1895,1850985,00.asp
As the article states there are very minor things that
OpenOffice can't do that M$ can, but then there are
many things that OpenOffice can do that M$ can't, i.e.
creating PDF files and wildcard searches.

If you can afford M$ AND the technical help for more
$, fine.  I just can think of more (higher
priority)things that I can waste my money on.
