Taken from Notebookreview.com:

Can't Afford Office? Get OpenOffice for Free!!!

Yes, this inclusion is going to be a programmers nightmare because I'm supporting yet another program that is absolutely free. To pass my standards, the program has to be free of any limitations, time constraints, upgrades that cost us money and openly distributed to everyone. This one fits that bill and more!!

The program is called OpenOffice and it is described in detail here. The direct download is here. Quite frankly, it looks like the other software, acts like the other software, saves documents just like the other software..plus lots more and doesn't cost you a penny.

I'de probably list this as the best freebee on the net with respect to the amount of money saved. Now that I am using this, I don't understand why one would get the other program.

As a brief overview it has a very detailed word processor (that resembles the other one almost exactly), spreadsheet (same same), presentation creator (again same same), database which seems actually simpler, and add to this a drawing tool and mathematical function creator. Just click on the word to see the specific function page.

Heads up as it is a large download but worth every bit of space it takes and dont take just my word for it, see what others are saying.

Its the best free one you can get. *cough warez office 2007 cough* but not really because my computer came with it.
