10 years of additional bombast and silly entertainment features have brought us an office mess, incompatibilities, vendor lock-in and most of all - lower productivity. AHEAD is just wishful thinking, AWAY is more to the point.
OpenOffice brings back simplicity, reliability, efficiency. OpenOffice progresses steadily on the path to productivity by being simple, open and robust.
OpenOffice does the job - and nothing else.
