OK, I’m a day late, and every blog in existence has already announced it, but… OpenOffice.org 2.0 is out. Looks and “feels” much better than the 1.x versions. I haven’t tried doing so, because I’m not much of an Office user, but people are saying that OO.org 2.0 reads old MS Office documents better than new MS Office versions do!
Whether you’re using Windows or Linux, you should really try this (assuming you need an Office suite at all - I, for one, use it only about half a dozen times a year). It’s free, it’s easy to use, and it opens your old documents. It’s not harder to move from any MS Office to OO.org than it is to move from MS Office 97 to 2003, for instance.
Also, it supports OpenDocument, which MS Office doesn’t (at least yet). That may well turn out to be the format of the future…
