Don't just take my word for it

Here's a neat little article on why Open Office.org beat M$ Office. It puts it succinctly and effectively. Read it an plan never to upgrade again, just download [for free] OO.o. Treat yourself and your church or organisation to good software that you don't have to buy and won't need to licence. It hardly makes sense not to.

And while you're at it think about dumping windoze -or at least beginning the migration process to linux. Here's a nice littel article pointing out that a commercial Linux solution is 27% cheaper in terms of total cost of ownership and that's before taking into account lower staff resources, lower malware costs and less downtime on the part of linux and even tripling the consultancy fees for linux system.
