OpenOffice is cross-platform, capable of running on any system with a Java Runtime Environment installed. Microsoft Office only runs on Windows and Mac OS X, and uses two different versions to accomplish this. OpenOffice is portable; you can place it on a USB Flash drive and move it from computer to computer. Microsoft Office requies that a copy be installed on every system you wish to run it on.
