Hundreds of thousands of users have participated in the beta testing of version 2. With a fully open development process, OpenOffice.org has nothing to hide - the product stands or falls on its reputation.
OpenOffice.org is friendly. The software looks and feels familiar and is instantly usable by anyone who has used a competitive product. It’s easy to change to OpenOffice.org - the software reads all major competitors’ files.
