I agree with redlemon - for purely technical documents that require heavy formatting, et al. OOO just won't cut it. On the other hand, if you just need something that covers MORE than just the basics of MS Office, OOO will do it and more. The problem with OOO (one of a few) is that its Office Importing filter isn't as exact as if you were to open it in another Office program. Blame it on the reason that it had to create the filter itself, and is still being de-bugged/fixed.
My biggest problem with OOO, which isn't THAT bad, is that it takes a good amount of time to load on my system. I don't have it load at system start, because it just bogs the entire system down. When I do need it, I run the quickstart. That will load it into memory, so I don't need to load the entire thing every time I close and re-open. Once you get past the initial startup, the load times are fairly respectable.
