The Open Source Zone-Apache Open Office

In the world of making documents, spread sheets, or any other office main staples of computer based work, it seems like the gold standard of programs is undoubtedly, the reigning champion of Microsoft Office. But in my review of some good Open Source equivalents, there is a pretty decent runner up with some solid comparables called Apache Open Office.

Apache Open Office offers a tit for tat, apples to apples, eye for an eye type alternative to programs such as Microsoft Word, Excel, and PowerPoint. While it would probably never take over the world of business, or render Microsoft's tried and true go-to's irrelevant, it does offer a great alternative to those who may be looking to use something different from the ever-so-common Microsoft mainstays.

And just like the clever boy vs. girl song "anything you can do, I can do better", the same claims are true of Apache about Microsoft Office. Simply put, anything that you would look to achieve via a popular Microsoft Office program, you could essentially do the same thing with Apache Open Office.
