Google plans to hire programmers to improve OpenOffice.org, a demonstration of its affinity for open source initiatives and one the company believes also shows sound practical sense.
Microsoft Office may be the standard, but there are a variety of competitors--old and new--that look like giving it a decent run for its money.
OpenOffice.org 2.0, the freeware version of Sun's StarOffice 8, is a great deal for small-business users who don't mind browsing online forums for technical support. But enterprises are better served by StarOffice 8.
This feature-rich, flexible and above-all free office suite is much more than a refuge for the anti-Microsoft tendency. It works, it's reliable and it's useful.
OpenOffice.org is the freely available and freely developed successor to Sun's StarOffice and is a full office suite available for Linux, Windows, and Mac OS X.
