We used this before. It was alot like Office. It seemed like it did all the same stuff. I liked it.

It has it's use. Prefer Sun's "pretty" version because it is easier to use and more robust.

It's "okay". Has some bugs and compatibility problems that need to be worked, but for a FREEBIE, I like it.

I have used it for about 1 year, both on Windows and Linux Systems. In my opinion it is better than the Microsoft Office Packages, as you can save as PDF, WordPerfect, etc, etc.

It is very good, stable package with regular updates.
