Prefacing this response with: I run OpenOffice.org on a Linux box and not a Macintosh. I run my business on it, and it works well. It's responsive, feature rich, configurable and open source. If I have a problem, there are many people who can help me. As I'm a software developer, if I come across a problem, I can look at the source-code, figure out where it died, and either fix the problem myself, or send a bug report to the developer community. And just to be pedantic, the name for the software is OpenOffice.org - read the website to see why. On a final note, the more users there are, the more people describe and communicate what they feel is a problem with it, the better the software can get. So, download and try it now - who knows, it might be the best thing you ever did!
