No contest, unless you need a freebie, bloaty, slow, buggy piece of software.
MS Office is free if your work uses it, which I think is the case for a lot of people here."The issue is there are still many people out there that use religion as a crutch for bigotry and hate. Like Ben."

Are you implying that people are free to install and use MS Office at home for personal use if they use it at work? (Which would be false.)Originally posted by Asher

Personally, I prefer Microsoft Word.
A shock, I know, what with the rest of the world supporting OOWriter.
What? They're not?

Most businesses are volume licensing customers. If you want more than 3 licenses, it's cheaper to do it by volume licensing.
Also, if your company pirates it I'm sure you can get it for free at home also.

That much?Originally posted by Kuciwalker

Jeez. It was free at my university. Along with virtually every other piece of MS productivity software (SQL Server, Windows Server, Windows XP, Windows 2000, Visual Studio Professional, etc). I guess we all can't be blessed by attending real computer science schools.

As much as I dislike Microsoft, I definitely agree that MS Word is better, for the simple fact that it takes about a tenth the time to load up as open office.Click here if you're having trouble sleeping.

Word is better, but I have no problems operating in OpenOffice.
It seems, though, that everyone else does.Comment

I have no problems with OpenOffice.
Just like I have no problems with that Ford Focus.
Doesn't mean that I'd prefer it over the Toyota Corolla that is Word.
