StarOffice Suite

An office suite from Sun compatible with Microsoft Office. It is an enormous amount of software, 110 MB compressed. However, it is very spritely, faster than MS Office. It is free to educational users, and $70.00 USD for home office users, and as low as $25.00 USD in volume discounts. It is not written in Java, even though it comes from Sun and is available for Windows, Linux and Solaris. It contains equivalents of the Microsoft Office suite including:

word processor
database
spreadsheet
presentation manager
draw

The big advantage is StarOffice use published open file formats rather than proprietary secret formats the way Microsoft does. This means you can create and use StarOffice files in your own programs.
