Funny, but OpenOffice is still free.

Funny, but it's still not fully Office 2007 compatible.
Had trouble with Word 2007 templates and certain docs, and can't open PowerPoint 2007
presentations.
I JUST tried 2.4.1 from openoffice.org with some of my wife's school .doc's and
PPoint presentations.
Guess THAT didn't work out like you planned.

Funny, but that's one of OpenOffice's best features. It does the stuff
I need, without nearly as much useless bloat as MS Office 2007. I deal
with Word and Excel documents routinely, and although I occasionally run
into one that uses an exotic feature not in OpenOffice, it's never been
anything that prevented me from doing what I need with the document.
