Hi Doug,
I use it fairly regularly. I work at a university and most of my colleagues
use ms office on windows, but I use linux as much as possible, including
openoffice for linux. On it's own, I think it is more than good enough for
anything you are likely to do. The word processor reads and writes ms office
files very well, and for normal documents, I have no problem exchanging with
other people. I've also used the spreadsheet and presentation programs with
little problem in the latest version of oo. I still use powerpoint for
presentations at meetings, though I think that is probably not necessary.
I'm sure there are some complicated documents where the conversion between ms
office and open office is less than perfect, but in general it works very
well. And if you don't need microsoft compatibility, I don't really see any
reason to spend the extra money for ms office.
Note that I haven't used oo on windows much, so I can't vouch for it there,
but I think it's pretty much the same as the linux version.
