A nice milestone for open source software

From The Apache Software Foundation:
The Apache Software Foundation Announces 100 Million Downloads of Apache� OpenOffice�
The Apache Software Foundation (ASF), the all-volunteer developers, stewards, and incubators of more than 170 Open Source projects and initiatives, announced today that Apache OpenOffice� has been downloaded 100 million times.

Apache OpenOffice is the leading Open Source office document productivity suite, available in 32 languages on Windows, OS X, and Linux. OpenOffice includes a word processor ("Writer"), a spreadsheet ("Calc"), a presentation editor ("Impress"), a vector graphics editor ("Draw"), a mathematical formula editor ("Math"), and a database management program ("Base"). As Open Source software, Apache OpenOffice is available to all users free of charge; the C++ source code is readily available for anyone who wishes to enhance the applications.
OpenOffice works with Microsoft Office files so it is a nice alternative to the $$$ that MSFT charges. Download here: OpenOffice Posted by DaveH at April 17, 2014 11:29 AM
