It is an international office suite that will run on all major platforms and provide access to all functionality and data through open-component based APIs and an XML-based file format. It establishes the necessary facilities to make this open source technology available to the developer community.

    BeBob -- you got to be kidding. Did you check the size of Microsoft Office? Open Office is the best on the free market, wake up and live a little.

    I would wish for both OpenOffice.org and LibreOffice to get a full sandbox as Gogole Chrome and Adobe Reader have.

    While not an absolute 1 to 1 replacement for MS Office, it is a top office suite with some upsides and a few downsides compared to the MS suite.

    It is still a very big download at 155 MB, not to mentions it's size after installation.

    I tend to favour SSuite Office’s free office suites. Their software also don’t need to run on Java or .NET, like so many open source office suites, so it makes their software very small and efficient. {37MB}

    Fantastic Office suit.
    Runs on Mac, Linux, Windows and many other platforms.

    Betanews should update it's 10 year old OpenOffice screen shot.
    OpenOffice looks much better than that.

    (I know Betanews is sponsored by Microsoft who makes MS Office.)
