I actually used OpenOffice up until a public Beta of Microsoft Office 2007 was available. After using it just a little while I fell in love with the new office suite.

i used to be a diehard office 2003 user until i switched to a linux environment. from there, openoffice stole my heart. however, with buying a new laptop with vista, office 2007 has been a real boon to both my creativity and productivity. i am excited to see what oo brings to the table with their stable 3.0 release, but they have a uphill battle to compete against office 2007.

True Openoffice is not as good as MS office but the price you pay for that is not justified.

Been using OpenOffice for sometime now when someone else recommend it. We even use it at my work. This computer came loaded with MS Office and MS Works, neither of which I have touched. Just went ahead and installed OpenOffice instead.

I think more and more companies are trying to cut costs, and one way to do this is by using OpenOffice.org.

It's great, isn't it? I loved Office 2007 and miss it quite a bit now that I am using Office 2008 for Mac.

I’ve been using Open Office since 1.4 and currently trying the 3.0beta, but while attending an IBM seminar, they mentioned about their FREE Lotus SYMPHONY Office Suite, now out of beta, and is based on Open Office codes available at symphony.ibm.com

I use Office 2003/7 at work. And XP at home …

Never tried Google Docs … neither OpenOffice … due to lack of time …

Well I used to use Microsoft office. OpenOffice came along and I have been a happy user since 1.0, looking forward to 3.0. I use OpenOffice at home and Microsoft Office at work (not my choice).

I’d love to use OpenOffice.org but dang, Microsoft Office 2007 looks sweet! I actually use an old beta version of Office 2007 so I have to turn back the clock on my machine to avoid the “beta has expired” message. It’s the oldest trick in the book!

I use M$ Office for work stuff ~ but only because I essentially “have to” for compatibility with clients/colleagues.

I use Google for personal stuff.
