The Open Office development team released the stable version of Open Office 2 earlier this week. If you need a functional office package, with word processing, spreadsheets, presentations etc., then it makes an attractive alternative to MS Office. The Irish mirror is hosted by heanet and is probably a safer bet than the main download servers at the moment

It's fantastic. The improvements over 1.x are remarkable. This is actual competition for MS Office and it supports open standards. God bless Sun for releasing their source code.

I'm not a power user, but I have found it's handling of MS documents to be very impressive compared with 1.x
