Apache Open Office

Open source You can distribute, copy, and modify the software as much as you wish, in accordance with either of OOo’s Open Source licenses.

Cross-platform OOo3 runs on several hardware architectures and under multiple operating systems, such as Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X, Linux, and Solaris.

Extensive language support OOo’s user interface is available in over 40 languages.

Consistent user interface All components have a similar “look and feel,” making them easy to use and master.

File compatibility In addition to its native OpenDocument Format (ODF), OOo includes PDF and Flash export capabilities, as well as support for opening and saving files in many common formats including Microsoft Office, HTML, XML, WordPerfect, and Lotus 123 formats. New in OOo3 (using an extension): the ability to import and edit some PDF files.

No vendor lock-in OOo3 uses OpenDocument Format (ODF), an XML (eXtensible Markup Language) file format developed as an industry standard by OASIS (Organization for the Advancement of Structured Information Standards) and adopted by ISO as an International Standard. These files can easily be unzipped and read by any text editor, and their framework is open and published

Summary

Platform Independent

– Applications used by everybody in the company should

be delivered platform-independent

Open Standards

– It's all about Open Standards, not Open Source – know

the difference

Choice

– In essence, users choose their own platform. Specific

application requirements for customers are allowed to define the OS
