Most of us are aware of the OpenOffice.org, which is open source software and a free alternative to the ubiquitous Microsoft Office. I have had used it and found it to be a useful deterrent against the Microsoft hegemony.
OxygenOffice Professional is an enhanced version of OpenOffice.org, which contains many extra features, templates, cliparts, samples, fonts and VBA support.
- They have just announced the latest version, which is 2.3.0.
- More than 3,400 graphics have been included, both in the form of clip art and photos.
- Several new and stylich templates and sample documents have been integrated.
- More than 90 new fonts are bundled.
- OOoWikipedia, a new feature for searching the free on-line encyclopedia Wikipedia.
- The help menu has been upgraded with more entries.
I don’t know why Microsoft is able to enjoy so much monopolistic powers, when such a features rich suite is availale free.

We all know that this is very good but the resources which open office required is quite high. The x server required for the open office required minimum 512 mb of RAM so its too high at server end coz i think at server end it will take or reserve for this minimum 1 GB RAM, which is very high or expensive too !

I tend to favour SSuite Office’s free office suites. Their software also don’t need to run on Java or .NET, like so many open source office suites, so it makes their software very small and efficient. {www.ssuitesoft.com}

You should also try SSuite Office for a free office suite. They have a whole range of office suites that are free for download.
