A new Office software package is now on the market. OpenOffice, a StarOffice spinoff launched by Sun Microsystems, enables you to open, edit, and create documents in Microsoft Office-compatible format--and it's completely free. You can download OpenOffice from http://www.openoffice.org

The product works with Windows, Linux, and Solaris, but not Macintosh. OpenOffice has a cleaner interface than StarOffice (available on the Duckware 2000 CD) and is a good alternative for students who need an inexpensive tool for producing term papers and reports.
