I used OpenOffice exclusively on my laptop for almost two years.

It's a great program, especially since it is free. But the reason why I ultimately moved back to Office (besides getting it for free through my school) was that OpenOffice still lags behind MS Office in the feature department by about several years. (Although I am quite mad that Office 2007 can't even read ODF files straight out of the box...) :-/

If having the latest and greatest in features is not an issue, and you want to save some money, OpenOffice is a great option.
