That is right - free Office Suite similar to Microsoft Office. MS office users
remember to do "save as" and select file type as:
Word: .doc
Excel: .xls
Access: .dbs
and all your files can be opened in other machines using MS.

I have also started a thread about Openoffice here:

OpenOffice.org the product is a multi-platform office productivity suite. It includes the key desktop applications, such as a word processor, spreadsheet, presentation manager, and drawing program, with a user interface and feature set similar to other office suites. Sophisticated and flexible, OpenOffice.org also works transparently with a variety of file formats, including those of Microsoft Office, and the vendor-neutral OpenDocument standard from OASIS.

I have been using this software for several years with excellent results.

This is a very good office suite.
I have been using it for years and I would highly recommend it to everyone!

I know someone who uses this software and is very pleased with it, however the files they send over frequently open oddly in MS Office and take some reformating in order to make sense.
