Given the choice between Open Office and MS Office, MS Office wins hands down; mostly because it's just familiar. The first time I used it was on my boyfriend's computer (before he made the switch back to Office 2003) and I was so lost. Eventually, I got the hang of it but like Elgin said, some common MS Office things seem impossible to find in Open Office.

For being a free product, though, it's pretty good and the best alternative if you don't have MS Office.
