Cool Open Source Applications and Utilities

Open Office

I think we don't need to pay any more $$$ for the Microsoft Office Products. Sun Microsystems released Open Source Office Suite called OpenOffice. This OpenOffice is a multiplatform and multilingual office suite and an open-source project.The Main thing is it is free to download.

This OpenOffice bundle consists of
Writer - Equivalent to Microsoft Word
Impress - Equivalent to Microsoft Powerpoint
Calc - Equivalent to Microsoft Excel
Draw - Equivalent to Microsoft Visio
It also contains additional modules like Math and Base.

The important feature of these products is that after creating the document, we can right away create a pdf document directly without any hurdles.
The Open Office Documents are compatible to Microsoft documents.These open source products also avoids pirated copies.

May be Microsoft needs to change the strategy plan in handling of Open Source Applications. Otherwise, they are the ones who are going to hurt badly in the future.
