The main benefit - is that it's open to improvement by you - the user ! End-users of OpenOffice are actively encouraged to improve the software, and submit those improvements for inclusion in future versions. You can even re-write the source-code if you're competent enough ! Microsoft absolutely refuses to allow the end-user to make any changes to their software - under threat of legal action if you do !
In my oppinnion - OpenOffice could(theoretically) sound the death-kinell for Microsoft office - if Microsoft doesn't change its ways. Why pay hundreds of pounds for Microsoft's office suite, which you're unable to tailor to your own needs - when you can download a free alternative which you can modify !
OpenOffice even has a forum where users can ask (and answer questions) - see related links for the official site, community forum and document templates.

Apache is the official website for OpenOffice.
Apache OpenOffice is the result of over twenty years' software engineering. Designed from the start as a single piece of software, it has a consistency other products cannot match. A completely open development process means that anyone can report bugs, request new features, or enhance the software. The result: Apache OpenOffice does everything you want your office software to do, the way you want it to.
Absolutely - OpenOffice is a fantastic alternative to the strangle-hold of Microsoft Office. I've been using OpenOffice since version 1.2 - and have never had any problems (either with the download or the software). Just remember to download it from the official OpenOffice web-site. Incidentally, Version 4.0 has now been released for download - see related link.
