Giving OpenOffice a test drive......

Several months ago, I downloaded OpenOffice 2.0.1 for Windows and burned it onto a CD. Tonight, I found the disk and installed it on tardis (my laptop). I also installed a copy onto the system that I'm building and giving away to the person in need, as previously mentioned on my LJ.

Pros and cons so far: It ran fine on the desktop. However, it's a little slow on the laptop. But what I lose in performance I gain in functionality; I can use it to open recent Word and Excel documents. That's going to be very helpful down the line, since Office 95 doesn't open documents created by newer versions of Office.
