Best Answer

OpenOffice has several advantages to other office suites.

1. Unlike Microsoft Office or iWork, OpenOffice is available free of charge.

2. Unlike Microsoft Office or iWork, OpenOffice is open-source, and free to modify.

3. Unlike GNOME Office, KOffice, or Siag Office, OpenOffice is written in Java. This means that it does not need to be ported to other operating systems; it should run out-of-the-box on any system with a Java runtime.
