I strongly agree with this. I don't know your situation, but Sun's StarOffice (the proprietary office suite which OpenOffice is based on) is available for free to students, researchers, staff, or faculty members of educational institutions. All you have to do is go here: http://www.sun.com/products-n-soluti...tml#StarOffice If this applies to you, I highly recommend you do it because StarOffice is theoretically *slightly* better than OpenOffice, and there is also web-based training available at http://www.sunacademic.com/

Now, to be honest, it works on the honor system, so even if you're not a student, etc, you could theoretically download StarOffice for free. Of course, then you wouldn't feel good about yourself breaking the licensing of the software when there's an open source and free alternative available that's 98% of what StarOffice is (OpenOffice).
