NewsForge | OpenOffice.org Writer vs. Microsoft Word: "Yet, despite these shortcomings, OOo Writer is not only as fully developed as Microsoft Word, but often superior in terms of features and stability.

Several years ago I concluded 'Opening Up to OpenOffice.org' by saying, 'OOo Writer outperforms Microsoft Word in almost every way.' With the release of the version 2.0 beta, that statement is truer than ever. At its worst, OOo Writer is an adequate alternative for Microsoft Word. Most of the time, it is a superior one. And the greater your need for page design features or long document handling, the greater that superiority becomes."
