Recently, RatwareUK has recommended OpenOffice to some SMEs as an appropriate and a financially sound alternative to Microsoft Office.

Open OfficeOpenOffice is an open-source project, free of costly licensing, which looks and performs almost exactly like Microsoft Office. It’s compatible too. You can open Microsoft files and save Microsoft files seamlessly without requiring any Microsoft Office software.

One great thing about OpenOffice is its ability to generate high-quality PDF files from documents, spreadsheets and presentations. Microsoft Office falls short of this and you have to purchase bolt-on software from Adobe. Sending documents to clients as PDFs via email is a much better solution than using the Microsoft formats.

If you are still undecided, you can try OpenOffice yourself. You can download it, install it, keep it or delete it and the best part is - it won’t cost you a penny.
