Microsoft Office can be used only on one OS. Open Office runs on Windows, Mac Intel and Linux. So no matter what OS you run, you can take your work anywhere.

What’s nice is with the combination of Apache POI and Open Office, I can create reports in either Excel or PDF format, without even needing to have Excel on the server.
And let me tell you, it’s a heck of a lot easier to format reports and formulas with Excel than trying to do it with something like Crystal Reports (and a lot cheaper too).
