Abstract:
In 2002 the OpenOffice.org community released the first version of their office environment available for major platforms and can for this not only be used on Windows machines, but also on Linux and Macintosh.
But is this project progressed sufficiently for its application in public and private environments? Can the free OpenOffice software packet offer an alternative to Microsoft¡¦s proprietary MSOffice?
In the report will be explained initially today¡¦s situation on the open source market and after the focus will be put on the last OpenOffice suite. Advantages and disadvantages will be shown up to give a better understanding in which sectors of today¡¦s business environments OpenOffice.org might be applied efficiently.
