OpenOffice

I’ve been playing with my EEE this past week and I mentioned in last week’s blog posting that I was going to try out OpenOffice to check out its features. That kind of fell by the wayside as I was checking out the features of the computer instead! So I’ve been looking at other blogs and reading what others are saying about it. Below are a couple of places that I’ve explored and they have some great observations and comments – so check it out.

This one talks about the upcoming 3.0 release and there are quite a few comments highlighting both the pros and cons of OpenOffice v. Microsoft office. These mainly focus on the Writer app within OpenOffice.

This link takes you directly to the OpenOffice site where they have links to discuss the features of all the apps. Now this is for release 1.0, (version 2.4 was just released), but I found it a great starting place to get acquainted with all the products.
