Office Alternative

Zombyboy has been using OpenOffice and finds it to be a good alternative to M$ Office. From his review:

If you are a hardcore user of all of Office’s applications and functionality, it’s probably worth the money. For the rest of us, the low cost should make OpenOffice an obvious choice, even given the large download.

I do not currently use OpenOffice but have in the past and concur with Zombyboy’s review. If I were getting a new home PC I think it would be a good fit and it would be just fine for my small business as well.
Update (3/29): I should probably have rechecked at least the spreadsheet module before joining in the above recommendation. Please read Jim Henley’s comment.
