OpenOffice.org Impress/Sun StarOffice
(4.5 out of 5)
Free (OpenOffice), $69.95 (StarOffice 8)OpenOffice Impress and StarOffice offer the best presentation bang for your buck.
It’s amazing that this package isn’t more popular than it is. First, there’s the price. You can choose the full-featured StarOffice package from Sun.com for only $69.95, or the slightly more austere, but free, version from OpenOffice.org. They’re the best Microsoft Office clones on the market. Why is StarOffice So Inexpensive? How can a well-respected company such as Sun Microsystems afford to offer software at such a low cost? The program is actually based on OpenOffice.org, a major Open Source project, with contributions by Sun and other volunteer programmers in the Open Source community. Also, by enhancing its $70 version with user support and many more design templates and clip art choices, Sun should reap some significant revenue.
