I guess you have never had your Windows crash or any commercial product crash on you. I also guess you never learned about saving your files from time to time.

I have lost hours of work, that was saved when Microsoft Office decided that it's timed backup would write to the file and corrupt it. Guess what, the file toasted for MS Word. It wouldn't open in WordPerfect either. I downloaded OpenOffice and it opened the file. I could even save it as a MS Word file that Word would open. OpenOffice saved my butt that day.

Yesterday, my daughter working on a school project couldn't get PowerPoint to import some JPG's that she had. It kept telling her to use a different application. She came home and completed here school work using OpenOffice Impress.

I could go on about using OpenOffice between Mac's, Windows and Linux which I cannot do with Microsoft Office unless I add a Windows Emulator.

For future reference, there is an autosave feature in both OpenOffice and Microsoft Office. Turn it on.
