This is the web address of the free office suite made by Sun. It is the same thing (well kinda) as Microsoft Office with all the different apps in it. And its FREE. If you don't have MS Office (which changes every few years and MS charges BIG BUCKS for each new version) this is the cheap man's dream. Open Office is fully compatible with Windows or Ubuntu (Linux).
While we are talking cheap, Ubuntu is a open source, pc graphical user interface (gui) which is a FREE replacement for Windows operating systems. You can download this from the web, burn your cd from the download and have a bootable, installable latest version of Ubuntu (Linux). You can install it on its own or try it out by installing side by side with your current version of Windows. Ubuntu is fully supported on the web by a growing number of enthusiasts.
Hey, Microsoft is charging higher and higher for Windows products and their latest product is not so good (Vista). MS is also beginning to put limits on how many times you can install Windows without calling home (MS). MS is now working on a new version of Windows (because Vista is so bad) due out in 2010. I'm sure the price will be really high (relative to my income).
And is FREE not a good thing?
