Does anyone have this running?

I'm curious to know what it's like from heavy office users (I'm not the best person to test it really).

Got it running on the parents PC its ok for free but I don't like it. It seems to like processor power.

Its fine. I have used it for years and had no issues. Works fine when I transfer files to/from computers running office as well

Its ace for free

I'm not a heavy user but been running it under Linux for a long time and it does everything I need it to do and quickly.

Good for free

Does everything you would want it to do without the hint of a paperclip in sight.

I've used it for a while and apart from the previous version crashing accasionally the current version appears fine. As said above, can't argue for nout!

Yeah, but office is free too?

There is a difference between legally free and illegally free though

Pre-installed on my company laptop! I do hope it's legal... :S

If you already have a legal copy of MS Office, why are you asking about OpenOffice?
