Open Office 3.0

Open Office 3.0 is a free office suite made available by SUN Microsystems. It is a fully compatible replacement for MS-Office (this means it can create and open/edit any document created with MS-Office and that any document it creates is also compatible with MS-Office.

It is being sold on Ebay for an average price of $4, sometimes selling for as much as $11. It has been clever MS-sounding names on Ebay such as Open Office 2007, or Open Office Ultimate, Student, or Home editions. If you have a decent connection speed you can download it for free.

Don't be fooled by the free price, this is actually really great software. I for one actually prefer Open Office over MS-Office especially since Office 2007 was released (the interface is terrible).
