Open Source office application "OpenOffice.org" has this maximum features.Then why you need to buy Microsoft Office 2007?Can anyone please explain me?Yep,may be professional users has need some features of Office 2007 that Open Office has not.But,what you think,there has no way to do those work without Office 2007?So many people use Linux professionally,how they do those all work?And,I am sorry,I do not belive you all are professional users.
I think you'll find that, aside from the fact that OpenOffice.org is free, open source, and more secure than Microsoft Office, it's also a far easier upgrade for today's Office users than Office 2007.With Office 2007, you'll need to relearn how to use your basic word-processor and spreadsheet. With OpenOffice.org, you won't. It's as simple as that.


0499.95 US$ (USD)

Thank you.

I used open office. It's just too slow for my liking. I hated using the word processor it had. I think google docs is just awesome. Fast, reliable and sharable!

But yes, Apocalypticdreaming, I wouldn't spend soo much because the faster experience that Ms Word provides frankly isn't worth that much money. Kudos to you that you would help out the poor rather than buy something that would save you a few seconds!

I don't remember which version but it was the one that you got in early/ mid 2007.

Thumbs down

The Open Office suite is seen as a capable alternative to MS Office. However, Open Office has been constantly criticized for being slow, with commentators likening it to a pig. To check out the truth behind this perception, I compared the performance of Microsoft Office 2007 with Open Office 2.3 on Windows XP SP2. First up, the word processing programs will be compared.

The startup times of both the programs were first measured immediately after logging in. Then, documents of varying sizes were opened by both the programs. The lengths of the documents opened were 3, 15, 30, 150, 600 and 1200 pages respectively besides a blank page at the beginning. There were two sets of documents having the formats: .docx (for MS word 2007) and .odt (for Open Office). The quickstarter for Open Office was disabled for these tests. Each and every test was repeated thrice and the average value taken. For testing the startup time, the user logged out and again logged in. For the other tests

The test machine had AMD Athlon 3000+, with 1 GB RAM, Nvidia GeForce 6200 LE video card and had Windows XP SP2 installed. During these tests, AVG Free antivirus was running.

The timing was kept by means of a stopwatch. This is because MS word documents, even after loading the document, spends processor cycles in paginating and checking for errors, and if tools like Sysinternals Process Explorer were to be used, it would result in a bloated times for MS Office documents. Therefore, this study measures the time taken for a document to be loaded in an editable state. It could be argued therefore that these preconditions favor MS Office.

Results:
Startup:
MS Word: 3.4 seconds ; Ooo Writer: 2.9 seconds
Post-Startup opening of document: Over here, again, Open Office was faster than MS Office, the gap between the two really opening up for larger documents (See Graph).



Therefore, Open Office Writer is faster than MS word 2007. At least the criticism of Open Office being a “pig” does not hold in the case of the latest word processor form OpenOffice.org.


Finally, the choice of an office suite depends upon the user needs and the functionality provided. A few seconds here and there are not sufficient reasons for changing office suites. I personally find that Open Office serves all my needs (of making presentations , and writing articles), and its cross platform nature makes it essential for me , a primary Linux user. However, Microsoft Office is a compelling product for those working in a MS only shop at office and who need their MS Office macros. However, what this article shows is that Free alternatives often do give better performance than their commercial counterparts in many aspects.

You have ability.So,you are telling this.But,I am a student.Still I live with my family.So I do not have ability to spend 30000 TK for this reason.And,for me,it's just waste of money.Now a days,in Bangladesh,you can buy a PC (Dual core CPU,Intel Chipset Main Board,1GB DDR2,17" Monitor,DVD RW,120 GB HDD),if you have 30000 TK.You wanna tell,it's not much money?
Funny.Real funny.
