They both perform very similar functions. The two major differences are :-

MS Office costs money - you have to pay for each copy. OpenOffice is free to download.

MS Office is copyright, meaning only authorised people working for Microsoft can make changes to the program. OpenOffice is 'open source' which means anyone can manipulate and make changes to the actual source code.
