    Depends on your needs. Open Office can work with Office files and can do much of what Word, Excel and PowerPoint can do.

    The only issue I have ever had, if you email someone a file, depending on what program they use to open it, they may have trouble opening it.

    I used it on a personal computer for several years.

    Open office os great, however due to Oracle having bought Sun support for open Office (largely supported bu sun ) has wained, Fear not LibreOffice is a fork and is managed by a majority of the proect managers and developers from the Old Open Office. LibreOffice is open office with better support
    For the problem with emailing open office docs remember OpenOffice & libreOffice can be configured to save by default in MS Office File Formats.
