Can it read microsoft office 2007 programs and vice versa - readable by those to whom I send it?As long as you save them as .doc instead of .odt your files can be opened by MS Office users. You can open MS Office files.

Personally I hate Java programs so I don't use it >.>; All I ever really use is Word anyway. Use Adobe Illustrator to make up presentation files as my profs have threatened to bring untold pain to us if we use PowerPoint =(

I was just looking around to find a good deal for Microsoft Office , then I found this: www.Openoffice.org

It looks like MS Office and has all its capabilities and it is FREE: http://why.openoffice.org/why_great.html

Have anybody ever used this software ? I think this is HOT.

There's also Closed Office for people that like their source code proprietary and their binaries free.

Chill out. (S)he is just trying to be helpful, no need to flame. Many people may not be aware of Open Office, and frankly, Red Flag is a great place to learn about such software.

Before posting this, I just did a search and didn't find any RFD thread about OpenOffice , that is why I posted, I though it might be helpful.
