I’ve been waiting for Open Office 3 for a while for one of its best features, compatibility for Microsoft Office 2007 files.  For those of you that don’t know, Open Office is an Open Source alternative to Microsoft Office.  It is very easy to use and includes the full suite that you would get with Microsoft Office.  You can download the newest version of Open Office here.  It hasn’t been officially announced yet so if you go to www.OpenOffice.org it will be the previous version.  Anyone that currently has Microsoft Office, I encourage you to try this out.
