If comparing to the MS Office Suite, the only piece you don't get is an Outlook equivalent, but you can get an open source download of Thunderbird which replaces Outlook as well. I even published my last ebook using Writer, the OO version of MS Word. It's pretty rockin, and you have to love the built in pdf publisher. One click print to pdf. Couldn't be easier :) I’ve used Open Office for a little while now and highly recommend it.

It is an excellent office suite, especially now with many companies being financially strapped it is an excellent alternative to MS Office. Give it a try, it's free.
