    Don't really know much about it, but a guy in our company emailed everyone about it.

    Anyone familiar with it?

    it gets high reviews. Its open source, so there's very little support if something fucks up, but you can't beat the price.

    I run it on my machine at home. It works pretty well. It takes a while to get used to the controls being in different places than in Excel but it does a good job and you can open Microsoft Office files in it.

    Just can't open Microsfot Works documents. . . But yep, once it loads (takes awhile) it's a fine product, I've been moving more towards google docs and away from this
