In reading about free and open content, I began to think about a program I use as an alternative to MS Office. I use a comparable program called OpenOffice that does everything MS Office does.
Maybe even a little better.
The key to producing such a successful product was based on the fact that this was initiated as a community product. Students, corporate and independent programmers, business and government employees all took part in putting together the software. By OpenOffice's estimate there have been almost 500,000 people who have already contributed.
Toby, That is a great comment. I just downloaded open office onto my computer as my replacement for word because I can't afford the word program. If it wasnt for openoffice I might not be able to do my reports. Go free education materials.
