go to http://www.openoffice.org for open office. Its wonderful! I use it at home instead of Microsoft office and best of openoffice is free and open source. Everyone should give it a try. It has excel,Powerpoint and Word like programs

I would call it passable, perhaps capable but not wonderful. 2.0 (coming any time now, or so the Illuminati tell me) i supposed to take care of some of the issues OO has. Its a bit of a hog on memory so if you're not using it on a modern box 512M+ with windows2k it can feel a bit clunky if you're doing a bit. The compress xml format they use has a bit of overhead in file access operations but I consider that worth what I feel is a better format.

It will do for 90-95% of users...
