There's no contest in this category, especially with the new 2.0 beta. OOo has totally replaced Office on my Windows machine as well, much to the confusion of my co workers.

OOo is so slOOow

I've only use OpenOffice, but still gets my vote as one that has all the functions I require. Have to check the others out though to make a real comparison

I mostly use openoffice, but I also like koffice very much especially the templates that are included in kspead and kword, they make my working life easier.

GNOME Office...

It gives me the programs, that I need, and its free software!

OpenOffice is great and big slow, but the main reason, I don't EVER use it, is because it can't be compilled without JAVA, which makes it a non-free program!

KOffice would get my vote if it would be more compatible with .doc files.

I started with StarOffice 5.2 when I first used Linux. It was a drag on that poky machine. When OO 1.0 was released I heard the news at 0830 and found a relaxed server somewhere in the world and had it installed on my whole network by noon. There were a few nasty bugs, but lately it is serving very well in schools and offices where it gets a heavy workout. I have introduced hundreds to OO and you should, too. The only reasons not to switch to OO is that compatibility with the universe and an investment in macros locks one in. Both arguments are short-sighted. The lock-in gets worse, not better, with time. The time is now to switch. 2005 is the year of the great FOSS migration: Linux, Apache, Mozilla, LAMP, OO. This leads to a bright future. That other OS is going nowhere. Those who limit themselves to that other OS will be at an economic disadvantage very soon.
