In my opinion, Microsoft Office is too expensive for what it is. When you buy Microsoft Office, you are paying for the brand name. Open Office is free and simply looks less fancy than MS Office, but will do all of the same things that MS Office does.
There's my two cents.

Can you use open office while using ms office?
You mean run them at the same time? Sure, why not. I haven't used either in a while, but you can open files created in either suite with the other one, but you usually have to save the MS Office file using an older file format that Open Office can understand. I've done it before flawlessly. The only thing I've noticed is that the formatting might look slightly different in Open Office, but goes back to normal in MS Office. By now, the latest MS Office should be backwards compatible with Open Office, but read the documentation. Better yet, when you save a file in MS Office, save it as you would a normal file. Then save-as and choose the older file format, e.g. MS Office 2007. Open both up in Open Office, and see if you get a prompt. If they both open up fine, you're good to go. I don't think there are really any problems with Open Office files opening in MS Office. The open-source community is really good at making sure Open Office files can be read using MS.
