Open Office — The Free and Open Office Suite — Tired of endlessly spending big bucks just to update your old office suite on each computer you own? It's free to replace your old word processing software with the Open Office Suite!

1. OpenOffice.org provides everything most people need in an office productivity suite. It is stable, reliable, and robust, built up over twenty years' development. Unlike its major competitor, it was designed from the start as a single piece of software, which makes for higher quality software and a more consistent user experience. It is actively developed, with several releases every year. The main components of the OpenOffice.org Suite are the Writer wordprocessor (screenshot); the Calc spreadsheet (screenshot); Impress for presentations (screenshot); Draw for graphics (screenshot); and the Base database (screenshot).
   
2. OpenOffice.org is both easy to use and easy to migrate to, for both experienced and beginners alike. It has a familiar user interface, and is able to read and write the vast majority of legacy file formats (including common Microsoft Office formats). It is supported in over seventy languages, with active support both Community based (free) and from commercial organisations (paid-for).
3. OpenOffice.org is released under an open-source licence (the LGPL), which means it may be used free of any licence fees, for any purpose: private, governmental, commercial, etc. Once acquired (either as a free download or as a CD) it may be installed on an unlimited number of computers, and may be copied and distributed without restriction. OpenOffice.org supports extensions, allowing users to add on extra functions easily from an extensions repository. This is a key differentiator from the competition.

OpenOffice is available on all major computing platforms and currently enjoys over 15% market share for office productivity suites. Over 100 million downloads in the past year alone.
