What about Open Office 2.4.1?

Question

What is the Plus + Minus of using Microsoft Office 2007 against Open Office 2.4.1 ? just for Basic Office Use? Also is it better to buy a disc or download it ? And is it easier to learn for a novice? Thank you folks for you answers....

Answer 1

Open office is as good as microsoft for most office use. For basic office usage, Why not try abi word processor? Very small and can be used to prepare reports.

Answer 2

I use open office because it's free and it does not use a lot of space like Microsoft does which is good if it is only for a basic use. Downloading Microsoft is meant to be illegal. But Microsoft has a lot more added features but again takes up more room.
