5.0 out of 5 stars Open Office and FireFox, wonderful software, excellent value, February 26, 2005

By	Columbus Dad "Paul" (Columbus, OH) - See all my reviews

Open Office reads and writes in MS Office 97/2000/XP formats for Word, Excel and PowerPoint and can export documents to PDF format.
One of the best advantages is inexpensive upgradability. I purchased Office 95 ($400+ dollars) in 1996. When Office 97 came out, my Office 95 software would not open office 97 formatted documents. I toughed it out till I purchased Office 2000 ($500+ dollars) now Office XP and 2003 have came out (do we see a pattern here)? I suspect that it will be much less expensive to buy a $30 upgrade to Open Office to read and write documents created by upcoming versions of Micro$oft Office.
FireFox: "ad ware" resistant, pop up blocker and tabbed browsing... love it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great products, great price, great source!, January 26, 2005

By	Gary Fisher "><///'>" (West Michigan, USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Open Office and Firefox are two of the very best of their kind. Both give users the ability to work with the same files, websites and so on that they're used to, without the worries of bad macros, spyware, and other problems associated with the proprietary products these replace. Better yet, they're both faster, more powerful, and more up-to-date than those old dinosaurs. Perhaps best of all, these programs look and operate the same on Windows, Mac, Linux and other platforms, making it much easier if you or your family needs the flexibility.

The fact you can buy this set for a tiny fraction of the cost of just the Office suite it replaces is almost secondary to all the other features -- Open Office would be tough competition for Microsoft even if it cost the same as MS Office.

Linspire, the publisher of this collection, is highly respected for making open-source software widely accessible; if you like Open Office and Firefox, their Linspire Linux is among the best.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great for Windows and Linux, December 30, 2004

By	C. Touchet (Dallas, TX) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

If you use Windows this is the way to go. Free web browser that more than 10 Million people worldwide have switched over to. None of the security problems that Internet Explorer has. Popups blocked out of the box without not extra software. The office side saves you over 200 dollars paying for Microsoft Office. And it is completely compatible with Office formatted documents and more. If you have a college student on a budget that needs a office suite then this is for them.
